Since our plans for going out our first night in Chicago were thwarted by exhaustion, we actually woke up quite rested on our second day after a very full night’s sleep. And we were ready to explore some more of the city! (That still doesn’t mean we were up early… remember me saying on many an occasion that neither of us are morning people? yeah….)
Here we both are showing off the view from our hotel window….
Pretty soon we were out and about and hitting the street to see what Chicago had to offer. First, we walked all the way over to the Lake. Honestly, I thought we’d see it again, so I didn’t snap any pics. My bad. ‘Cause we didn’t go back. So just imagine seeing Lake Michigan…. oooooh! aaaaah! 😉
We walked back towards the Magnificent Mile, snapping pics along the way. Here’s a look at some….
At this point, the sight-seeing turned into food seeking. We started walking around the area not far from our hotel, since it was in such a good location. We actually ended up at a place called Rock Bottom Brewery. (RB’s) It had a nice atmosphere and the prices weren’t bad at all. Milos wasn’t thrilled with his steak (it was a bit over-cooked), but my food was great. And I really liked the beer!
After our late lunch, we headed back to the hotel to get some stuff out of the car and take care of a few other things.
We eventually headed out after it started getting dark. We walked around for quite a bit. I wanted to head down the few blocks to the river and check out the skyline from that vantage point. Plus, we wanted to start looking out for possible places to have dinner.
