Chicago the Windy City.
Hi, I decided to take a trip on a whim! Wanted to eat the famous Chicago deep dish pizza.
Once upon a time I worked for our family business. I met Linda, a valued customer who would come into the store with her family. Over time I became friends with her. We since sold the store and we lost contact. One day I was in Walmart and she approached me. We exchanged phone numbers. I reached out to her and we began to make dates to meet for brunch to visit.
During one of our brunches I mentioned to her I would like to eat Chicago deep dish pizza and asked if she would be interested in going with me. Our adventure was going to happen.
Back in March we decided to go the first Tuesday in May. We spent one evening in the Windy City. When we went to check into the Congress Hotel, the desk clerk, Jasmine upgraded our room. She did a wonderful kindness for us. The view was absolutely beautiful, night lights and the sunrise were gorgeous.
We walked a lot, 23,298 steps Tuesday! Walked to Millennium Park, Navy Pier and took the bus back to the hotel. Next we went to Lou Malnatis for our pizza. Then off to Wallis Tower, formally known as Sears Tower. The tallest building in Chicago.
Wednesday we reserved our Wendella Lake & River Architecture Tour. We enjoyed this. After walking down the streets it was neat to see the buildings by boat. Here are just a few of the images taken. Too many to share all of them.
Once back home and reflecting on the trip, never did I notice trash or litter on the streets and in the alley ways. Even while looking thru all of the images I had taken, no evidence of trash/litter. Secondly, both of us returned safe and unharmed. Now keep in mind we stayed in the downtown area and was back in our hotel room by 10 pm. We had a good time!
Have you been to Chicago? What was your favorite experience while there?
I have already asked Linda if she would like to go again next year. Gotta have me that Chicago deep dish pizza again!

Looks like you all had a fantastic time.
Loved the gorgeous photos.
Hi Veronica. Yes, we did have a wonderful time. Thanks for visiting. Have a wonderful day!
That was quite an adventure
Yes, we did have an adventure. I admire you for being able to take trips on your own. Not me, I like being surrounded by people. I wanted to go to Chicago and would never dream going by myself. Was not able to get the hubby to go with me, so I asked a friend! We had a wonderful time.
Thanks for visiting my site. Have a wonderful day!
It looks like a fabulous time! I so miss Chicago pizza (I grew up across the IN state line)!
