Chicago, you're a wonderful town...

We had a wonderful short 36 hours in Chicago, but we managed to do some majorly touristy things! We saw the art institute, visited the Sears tower, went to an English Pub, and even walked along Lake Michigan! We walked through Lincoln Park on the way back to the car, and then Travis and I flew home. Whew! What a weekend!

At the art institute, we saw LOTS of Monet... it was amazing to see all these paintings in the same room. Nothing like seeing the entire haystack series instead of imagining the bits and pieces!










Georgia O'Keefe had quite a presence at the Art Institute as well... here is her picture of Macchu Picchu.






After the Art Institute, we went to the top of the Sears Tower. Very touristy, but oh well. The Bears were in the playoffs... we could almost see the game from there!

After the Sears Tower, we went for pizza at Giordano's, and enjoyed a couple of Goose Island 312 beers. Then we went to the Red Lion Pub (within stumbling distance of our hostel) and enjoyed a few Smythwicks. My first (and certainly not the last)!





We had a great time, Chris!!! Thanks for driving us around that crazy town!
