On Saturday morning, Alex and I woke up and got going. We headed up to the executive level to get the powdered eggs that were included in the price of the suite. Then we got ready and headed out to explore the city.
We walked down to the lake from our hotel and followed it around until we ended at Navy Pier. Once there were went window shopping. We were sweating bullets. Like we were both so hot and uncomfortable so we both bought Tshirts and took off our long sleeve shirt/sweater. If we didn't look like tourists before, we did now!
Before we left Navy Pier, we decided to go up in the ferris wheel and get a view of the city.
It's just so pretty....
We were with another couple. They were on an actual date. They weren't dressed like tourists.
They were young and cute.
Then there is us. The old married couple.
Wearing cool shirts.
Then we walked along the lake again. We just kept people watching and walking.
It was awesome!
How crazy that this is in downtown Chicago on a Saturday morning. No cars were on this road. Crazy.
We walked over to Millennium Park. I had never been there.
It was pretty cool :)
THE BEAN
I spy with my little eye....
Cool right?
I LOVE this one.
The bean was just pretty cool....although there were a crap ton of people there.
There was even a tacjy little wedding party there.
The water park next to Millennium Park.
Alex performed his ALS cold water challenge here.
This was just so cool.
There were protesters/marchers for the African girls that had been taken.
I love the Chicago River. That area is pretty much my favorite area. It looks awesome with buildings on either side of the river.
We walked all over town. We shopped. We walked some more. We ended up at a bar with a bloody mary bar...Alex was in heaven. We got a small lunch and drinks and hung out for awhile.
He didn't mess around with his blood mary...
After lunch we headed back to the hotel to meet Farooq and Sarah. Time for a our fun filled night out with friends to start!!
