I left Toledo and drove to Chicago. I had time to kill before I picked up my girlfriend at the airport so I decided to take the scenic route so I could spend the 3 extra hours sitting in traffic. Kelley arrived and we went to her aunt and uncle's condo in Barrington.The first day we walked around the city all day. We went to the Sears Tower where you are not allowed to take pictures of anything except one wall of flags. We saw lots of skyscrapers, but we did NOT take the boat tour. We walked around the Loop and then we went SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!! Kiley didn't buy anything. After dinner we met Karley's cousin for a couple of drinks at her apartment which was neat.
The next day we went to Millenium Park. It is very pretty. We saw a giant reflective sculpture called the Bean. We went to the Pritzker Pavilion by The Frank O. Gehry. After that we went to Wrigley Field where the Cubs were playing the White Sox. The White Sox threw a no-hitter until the 7th inning. The Cubs threw a no-hitter until the 9th. Cubs won 1-0.
The next day we went to Oak Park to see some Frank Lloyd Wright buildings. We saw Unity Temple, and walked outside several homes, including his own. We then went to Hyde Park and saw the Robie House.
The last day we went back to Millenium Park and took some pictures. I took Karley to the airport and she left and I was super happy to get rid of her boring ass.
