We took the Amtrak from Grand Rapids, MI to Chicago, IL. Once we were checked into our room we headed out for some Chicago-style pizza a Bacino's. YUMM!
The view from our "upgraded" room on the 36th floor of the Swissotel. Gorgeous!
Millenium Park. Check out that reflexion.
Another view. I think I can see us 7 times in this photo.
It was very hot our first day. Most of the people cooling off in the water/fountains were kids, although there was one grown-up enjoying the water in her swimsuit and shower cap!
Marilyn!
Night view from our room overlooking the river, Lake Michigan and Navy Pier. A good storm came through our first night in town and we spent about an hour sitting in the dark watching the lightening show.
Chad finally got to meet Sue. May have been the highlight of his trip (well maybe not . . . but he was pretty excited).
We met Deb Kuhn for drinks and dinner one night. Suzanne got a yummy chocolate torte (free) for dessert for her birthday.
Dinner at Gibson's on Suzanne's actual birthday. Great celebration and another free dessert (excellent apple strudel courtesy of the businessman sitting next to us who had two screwed up steaks and got a free dessert out of it).
Skydeck at Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower).
View straight down 103 stories. Suzanne only made it on the glass floor for about 30 seconds.
