Leaving the Sheraton
Being picked up by Jimmy in the James Bond mobile.

It was such a beautiful day. It was hard to think about leaving.

It was a beautiful day
It was a great day to just cruise around. So we did.

Cruising along
Out joy riding.

kewl building
Buildings in Chicago are so tall. The tallest one here in Cincinnati is Carew Tower and it's only 50 stories.

The Sheraton
The Sheraton from another view. This is where we stayed.

Really cool building
The buildings here are great. We were driving around town just checking out the sites.

The Weber Grill
The Weber Grill. We ate here. It was excellent. It was too dark inside to get good food pics. But, we had garden salad with 4 different salad dressings (blue cheese, Italian, roasted corn vinaigrette and roasted garlic dressing). Also we had an appetizer platter (Weber Sampler serves two 12.95 Rib Fingers, Beer Can Chicken Wings, Steak Skewers, BBQ Shrimp and Onion Curls), and some Grilled Steak Skewers With Ginger Soy Glaze 7.50. Iced tea to drink and we were good to go. It was delicious.

Another cool building
Just a cool building.

Welcome to the Hotel Wacker
The Hotel Wacker. Traffic here is a nightmare, I must say.

Cruising along
Cruising along. The Navy Pier Ferris Wheel is in the background.

The beach
Next trip will include a stop here for a day of sun.

The beach
It was a much better day than yesterday. The weather was perfect !
