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!

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!
