One day in Chicago- WWYD?

[amberlyrose]

DH and I are at a hotel in the loop. We walked around, up michigan to navy pier and back to Adams st. We have all day today and half a day tomorrow. What are must see places?

We enjoyed the Museum of Science and Industry the last time we were there.

Are you into shopping? There is a ton of great shopping in Chicago and I like just walking up and down Michigan Ave at this time of year to people watch and see all the Christmas decorations that I'm sure are up already.

Head over to Millennium Park and see "The Bean."

Shedd Aquarium is fun but will probably be an absolute mad house today. You may have a better shot of going first thing tomorrow morning.

If heights don't bother you, you could go up to the Observatory on the top of the Hancock building.

My preference, though, would be to go up to the Signature Lounge instead at night. The view is awesome and you can get dessert/drinks while you enjoy it. The best view is actually in the women's restroom, so bring your phone/camera when you go to the bathroom.

Good to know!

We are going to the science and industry museum I think. We went to the bean, walked down Michigan and went into some shops, and maybe to the Hancock building. So much stuff!

My drink text to @gypsy:
We are terrible tourists. We went to wrigley field, found a broncos bar and 2 free shots later, there will be no museums or landmarks for us. Oops!


We are 5 shots in. Fuck me.

This happens to is more often than not. We were in Amsterdam during a major Scotland premier league soccer game and ended up in a British sports pub. We're seriously terrible tourists.

Thank you so much for the rec! We both love it up here. The bathroom has the best views though.
