Chicago...spring break!

I had a great time on spring break in Chicago. The weather was pretty chilly and windy...except yesterday of course (our last day), but despite the chilly weather Erin B. and I had a great time. Some highlights included:
massages, pedicure (for me), shopping of course!, food...at Gino's pizza, burgers at Weber Grill, mexican food, drinks on the 96th floor of the Hancock building, the dualing piano bar, a trolley ride around the city including a stop at Navy pier, etc.  All in all...it was great 4 days! Even better that we flew and the flight is an hour and 15 minutes! Sure beats the drive! We also stayed at a cute little hotel...the Inn of Chicago. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to be close to the action. 1/2 block from the magnificent mile.
Here are some pics from the trip.


















Look at this cool building looking up from the ground...great architecture!





















A look at the city from Navy pier.


















 more cool buildings. No, people don't park their cars by that themselves....all parked cars have to use valet.












I had to take a pic of this sign...as this was one of the names in the running instead of Brylee.


















our hotel.














Gino's pizzeria...you can write on the walls. Amazing deep dish Chicago style pizza!
A view of Chicago from the 96th floor of the Hancock building...amazing!
