Luckily, we had a day that Anthony could work from home and my mom and I could go for a day in the city. The weather was actually pretty decent and better than I had hoped for. We took the train downtown, and walked everywhere except for one cab ride. My mom was in a stepping competition at work, so she was wearing her fitbit and we got over 20,000 steps.. about 7-8 miles! It was a fun day, but also very tiring!
One of my favorite things to do with in the city is going on the River Architecture tour. On this boat, you learn about all the different buildings' history, cool city facts, and you have amazing view of the city.
After the tour, we walked around Navy Pier and learned that there really isn't much to DO there, but it is a bit quirky.
For lunch, I made reservations at the Hancock Tower. I know alot of people like to go to Sears Willis Tower, as see the view, but honestly, the Hancock tower as a better view and you get to eat amazing food. That is just a win all around.
We got there and still had about an hour wait, even with our reservation, so we headed up to the bar area, and got a corner window seat! Best seat in the house. We got so lucky. Also, here is a little tip if you ever visit. You can go up there and just eat and have drinks without eating in the restaurant.
And of course, we went to the Bean.
