Chicago - Part 2

More on the Chicago girls' trip!

Kennedy, Jodi, me and Maddie

It was a quick weekend jaunt and we now know 

that Chicago is a perfect weekend trip!

Loads to do and see and not too far from home,

so quick flights and no waiting to change planes.

Of course, we could drive too - but that would substantially

lengthen the trip!

Anywhoooo -- back to Chicago fun!

On our first day there, we followed Clark's suggestion 

[Jodi's husband] and headed straight

out the hotel and a quick right to

Stan's Donuts!

Did not disappoint -- I don't know about you, but I always need a 

chocolate donut to get moving!

BIG city - BIG buildings!

Later, after many consults of the map, we 

found our way to the river and hopped aboard

an architectural boat tour down the Chicago river.

So fun and so much to learn!

Plus--riding in a boat sure beats walking!

Boat ride -- doesn't that girl have pretty hair???

Later, we jumped in a water taxi for a ride from Navy Pier

to the Willis Tower.

Bravely, we peered out over the City -- that could 

make a person a little dizzy!

Willis Tower

Since it was getting late and we were wanting to try yet 

another mode of transportation,

we hailed a pedicab back to the hotel!

The pedicab ride was voted everyone's favorite

adventure in Chicago!

Our driver was cute and fun and funny!

Plus, he was quite impressed that I won the 

bicycle championship in Omaha when I was 10 years old!

He also blew through a number of red lights!

No doubt, once he got moving, he didn't want to stop.

It was a Sunday and traffic was fairly light!

LOVED the pedicab ride!
