Morning Meanderings…. Day Two and a Taste Of Chicago!

Morning Meanderings…. Day Two and a Taste Of Chicago!: "


Good morning!


Another long and fun day in Chicago yesterday. We spent most of the day on the Chicago Trolley which was well worth the money. For $35 you can use this for three days to hop on and off and see the sights. There is also coupons in the booklet that comes with it so for sure we picked up our free candy bar at the Hershey store, popcorn, and most importantly priority seating Gino’s Pizza! We were in line – with a 20 minute wait and then walaa! With our Trolley passes we were seated right away.


We had to have the “pizza” experience in Chicago and this is where we were told to have it.


Gino's Pizza


Calimari, motzerella, and spinach sticks


Bottom: Sara, Heidi, and Cindy - (my version of the Beatles picture) leaving Gino's


Needless to say after our Gino’s lunch we did not have supper. Wow. That’s a lot of pizza. :razz: Beth Fish Reads hosts a weekend cooking meme on weekends and while I am not cooking, I am enjoying good food. :D


We continued our tour seeing movie sights, famous buildings, Harpo Studios, Hard Rock Hotel, the Face Fountain (SO COOL!)




and finally – The Bean…


We have "been" to the bean!


We came back to the hotel tired and happy. Today we are doing one more swing through Chicago and then we are heading back towards home so the drive is not so long tomorrow. We are thinking of a mall spot in Wisconsin, something about a Fonzie statue, staying over night and then back to Brainerd Minnesota tomorrow.
