Chicago

Over Memorial Day weekend my mom and I went to Chicago for a girl’s weekend. My little sister lives there and we wanted to go see her.

I have to say Chicago is much nicer than I had thought. I loved the brick and stone buildings (no stucco or siding to be found) and it was so green.


(I think this is the Chicago Tribune building.)




While we were there we got massages, went up the Sears Tower,



(view from the 99th floor)


shopped the Magnificent Mile,



went to the beach, and Millennium Park,



went on a lunch cruise,

(view from the water)

and saw a Broadway show (Mary Poppins).


It was so much fun, but tiring though. Those people walk a lot. My treadmill didn’t prepare me well enough. I had shin splints the first day (and every other day).
