then to the Shedd Aquarium
By this point in the day we were starving and really tired of walking. We had read about a restaurant that didn't look too far away that we wanted to try, so we typed it into mapquest and started walking. An hour to and hour and a half later......we arrived at an empty building. Not one of our high points. We spent the rest of the afternoon napping. Then for some shopping at Urban Outfitters and H&M! We waited until extra late that night to eat dinner at the John Hancock Center, on the 96th floor!!
Thursday we saw this famous thing (not really a sculpture? more like a landmark)
Then we went to the Art Institute of Chicago for the afternoon
We took a quick break for lunch then attempted to find a photographer museum, which after about an hour of walking and searching, turned out to be a flop (recurring theme?)
Did you know that Ghirardelli has a dessert restaurant !?
This was followed by another late afternoon nap and then more shopping. For dinner we went to Andie's Jazz Lounge, or Bar, or something like that. It was great! the music was so fun. Check out this random group of great jazz musicians: (the pic doesn't do it justice, it really was a really random group of people)
That pretty much sums up our trip in Chicago. The next day we packed up and drove to Iowa City to visit our good friends Clint and Miranda. We really liked Iowa City and appreciate their great hospitality.
The End.
