Chicago!

So I went to Chicago for 4 days a couple of weeks ago. It was so nice to get out of Provo and go on vacation! I went with 2 of my co-workers and ignored homework (for the most part) and loved it!

We did tons of stuff, but here are the highlights with pictures.

We arrived at the top of the Sears Tower at sunset. Beautiful!

President Obama was in town!

We went to the Art Institute of Chicago twice (it was free February!) We saw some awesome artwork.



The bean sculpture (aka Cloud Gate) in Millennium Park.
We went on a walking historic skyscraper tour. It was really interesting.

The Chicago Theater.

The skyline from Navy Pier.

We rode the public transit (elevated trains and subways), went to Frank Lloyd Wright's home and studio, the Chicago History Museum, and lots of yummy restaurants.

We had a great time!

Remind me to tell you the story of how we almost missed our plane back to SLC.

Did you eat any deep-dish pizza? And yes, please share the story of how you almost missed your flight back to SLC! I love airport stories...perhaps because they didn't actually happen to me...then I might feel differently. :)

my favorite part is how it doesn't look nearly as blizzardy as i've always pictured chicago in my mind.
