My husband and I went to Chicago last weekend May 30 until June 1 just for fun. My husband been in Chicago when he was 24 years old and that is a long time and I have never been in Chicago and that is why I was excited. Chicago is known for basketball team called “Chicago Bulls,” the “Oprah Show and others. My husband and I heading in Chicago on Friday May 30 it was a good day since it was sunny and we did not really caught in traffic. Chicago is a massive City with big, tall buildings which is somewhat overwhelming if you are not living in a big City. My husband and I staying here in Indy for almost 4 mos. there are some tall buildings in here but in Chicago the buildings are tall, nice and old buildings which it seems like New York too. We arrived in our hotel that we stayed in “Marriott Residence Inn” in Dearborn St. which is just few blocks away from the Michigan Ave. as known street in Chicago as where the nice old skyscrapers’ that you can see and also prestigious shops. By the time, we arrived in our hotel we checked in and decided to eat out since we felt hungry and we went to eat in a nice expensive restaurant called Harry’s Caray’s restaurant and bar which they have delicious food. After we ate, we walked around the City and took alot of pictures of the buildings and decided to see one show called “Supernatural Chicago” which is an interesting one which you will know some creepy stories about Chicago, see magic and others. In 2nd day, my husband and I decided to explore more the City and while walking we saw the sign "river boat tour" and we end up doing it as we suppose to go to the Navy Pier, I highly recommend to people to do it since the tour guide is very knowledgeable and she talks about who design the buildings, what type of designs, how old is the building is, the history of Chicago etc. It was really fun to have tour like that on the river around the City. It took about more than 90 minutes ride which my husband and I enjoyed. On Sunday as last day staying in Chicago, we planned to have a food tour, I was skeptical about it if it’s good or not but I was wrong since we had fun doing the food tour as our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable too and during our food tour we tasted and learned about different kind of tea, tasted different kinds of vinegar which others are 18 years old and tasted different kinds of olive oil, tasting chocolate, cheese, variety of spices and much more! Staying and exploring in Chicago was unforgettable experienced to us. We will come back there again soon! I will post pictures in 2nd post about our food tour, boat cruise tour, tallest, nice and old buildings etc.
