Day Two Hundred and Twenty Seven

Chicago Cruising

The official start of our All-Star break, landed us in the gorgeous and historical downtown Chicago Congress hotel. Day one of our vacation was packed with Starbucks, sunshine and fun times. 

Today included: Chicago's Navy Pier. An architectural boat ride down the Chicago river featuring the impressive buildings through out Chicago. An All American Chicago hot dog. Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville margaritas. The Navy Pier Ferris Wheel. The Crystal Gardens atrium, filled with funky water features and palm trees. The Gateway Park. The Magnificent Mile, a mile long shopping district in Chicago including Saks 5th Ave and Tiffany & Co. Dinner at Harey Carey's, an uptown steak house owned by the prior Cub's announcer himself (the pricey meals are well worth the money). Andy's Jazz club, a local joint featuring fine wine and incredibly talented local jazz musicians. 

Ahhhhhhhh.
