I Love Chicago!!!

I just got back from Chicago. I was there for 5 days. This was a business trip but I had a really good time. This was my first trip to Chicago and I loved it. It is a great city.

I arrived in Chicago on Sunday evening. Monday after a full day of training we went to Giordano's for pizza. Wow!!! it was really good pizza. Not much is better than bread & cheese. Could not leave Chicago without tasting the great Chicago tradition. Right?

After over indulging on pizza we walked to Millennium Park.

Me and the giant bean.


This is Connie and I, my co-worker from the Boulevard Mall in Las Vegas, taking a picture of our reflections in the giant bean. It was a neat place. A lot of different art and architectural structures. They also have gardens but it was the wrong time of year for that. I would love to go back when the gardens are in bloom.

Tuesday we went to the Sears Tower. That was very interesting. Before you go to the top you watch a short film. One thing that I did not realize was that it was built in the 1970's. I thought it was a lot older than that.

View from the top of the Sears Tower.

One of my favorite things about Chicago was all of the old buildings. There are a lot of old buildings with great architecture.

I can't wait to go back...
