Usually, when I visit a different city, I steer away from tours. I like exploring neighborhoods (with the ability to be picky and stay longer where I like, less where I don't). I like seeing the local flavor, window shopping, and eating, and noting quirky aspects that don't necessarily define a place, but enhance it nonetheless. But, my mom suggested this one, which my parents went on with my sister a few years ago, so Micah and I decided to give it a try. It was SO worth the money. Chicago has so many incredible buildings.
On the boat, ready to go.
Corn-on-the-cob buildings.
The Merchandise Mart, all 4 million sq ft of floor space.
{Here it is from the other side.}
Love the two buildings on the sides framing the ones in the middle.
Lots of the buildings on the water are converted warehouses. Recycle, reuse!
This one's my favorite.
Someone's a Blackhawks fan.
The Sears Tower (I know, I know, it's been renamed...)
Still having fun.
Check out the wavy building in the back.
Chicago: the birth place of the Ferris Wheel.
Beautiful.
