Here are some pictures from my recent trip to Chicago.

What started as business...
...ended in fun when my girls joined me for a few days.
We even sort of took the Ferris Bueller Tour when we visited several places from the movie, including the Art Institute.
If you travel to Chicago, I recommend the GoChicago Card. We purchased the 3-day card which gave us admission and fast-pass access to more than 30 attractions. We used it for:
Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium, Gray-line 2-day hop on/hop off trolley tour, Art Institute, Willis (Sears) Tower Skydeck (including The Ledge), John Hancock Observation Tower, Contemporary Art Museum, and the Architechture River Cruise. It also included discounts for several stores and restaurants.
Our favorite restaurants included the Corner Bakery, the original Uno, Giordano's, Cosi, and the Weber Grill (well, that was one of mine anyway). The downtown along Michigan Avenue is busy, beautifully landscaped, and very well maintained. We even rode the "El"!
Believe it or not, this is a fish (Shedd Aquarium).
The "Ledge" - 103rd Floor of the Willis (Sears) Tower
Cloud Gate aka the Chicago Bean
Beautiful fall leaves
A great trip!
