American Girl Doll Store

We ate a big breakfast and then took a taxi to the Field Museum.  It's huge.  We walked till noon and then went to the first floor for lunch.  I had a bread bowl with soup in it.  We walked through the rest of the museum and left at 4.  Took a taxi back to the hotel. Sue went up to her room, Bill, Charlie and I walked to stores we wanted to go to. They went in the Harley Dealer and I walked 3 blocks farther to the American Girl Doll Store.  It was so windy I didn't know if I would make it or turn around.  Made it and walked through.  It was better on the way back because I wasn't walking against the wind.  Went to the Apple Store next right by our hotel and then back to the hotel.  Went and got a coffee before going to my room.  Bill came about ten minutes later.  He bought a Harley shirt on sale and Charlie bought a hat.

2-23-16 walked around Chicago

The Ferris wheel.  They said there will be a new one opening in the summer.  Is this the new one Melissa?

Beautiful view 

View from the Willis Tower.  110 floors up.  Only took a few minutes to get up there in the elevator.  2nd tallest building in North America.  You can see 4 states when it's clear like this...Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan 

Bill on the skywalk. Number one attraction in Chicago

Looks like Bills flying...that's what Peyton thought when she saw this

Decided to fly with him ha ha

Looking up at the outside of the tower.  We were on the ledges at the very top

By the globe at the tower

I love these round buildings with cars parked in them

Chuck and Sue at the Webber Grill with us.  Best restaurant meal ever!

Bill wanted me to get the Route 66 sign in a picture

We ate a big yummy breakfast at our hotel (Homewood Suites) and the walked to the navy pier.  We walked the whole thing then went to see the bean.  Walked all over.  Stopped at another Corner Bakery Cafe for muffins and coffee. Walked on a nice river walk along the river.  It was warm and sunny down there.  It was a little cooler when we climbed the stairs an walked downtown.  Went to the Willis Tower.  Charlie and sue wouldn't go on the sky walk but we did.  Bill wanted to get a picture laying down so we did.  So cool. We ate at the Weber Grill.  Had a great waitress who even gave us some pretzel rolls to take with us. The hamburgers Bill and I had wee deliciously perfect.  Left there, went straight when we should have turned and we were tired when we finally got to our hotel.  Walked over 14000steps.  Rested and then went to dinner.  Everyone ate a little but me.  I was still too stuffed.  Fun day
