Oh, to be a tourist...One day is not enough time to spend in Chicago, especially when the sun starts fading at 4:30PM. One day, however, is enough time to make a judgment that CHI-town's a pretty fun city!
A really quick review of Gibson's... a crowded, classic Chicago steakhouse with huge portions, loud people, a piano player in the lobby, and a take on Hula Pie that's about four times the size of Duke's version. Oh, and realllyyy good lobster.
Below are a few too many photos...
Posing with Mr. and Mrs. American Gothic on Michigan Ave.
A river runs through it. I would love to take the River boat Architecture tour someday--this was another disadvantage of my visiting the city post-daylight savings time switch. Last boat leaves at 2PM!
The "bean" statue! This looks so odd from far away, but it creates the coolest images of the Chicago city skyline.
This one's my favorite. I look like I'm in a bubble.
Fall colors in Millennium Park
Shopping on Michigan Ave. (aka the Maaaagnificent Miiile!!!) Does anyone else think of Oprah every time they here this??
And....I'm getting married in 12 days!! I'm a weeeeeeeee bit excited.
