We drove over to Navy Pier. Lake Michigan is so huge that it really looks like the ocean, but it's not.
This ferris wheel is modeled after the very first ferris wheel designed in 1893 for the World's Columbian Expo in Chicago.
This is the Chicago skyline- looking from Navy Pier.
Anything is art these days.
This is the Chicago River which has been known to be dyed green for St. Patrick's Day.
This is the Michigan Avenue Bridge across the Chicago River.
Can you imagine parking here?
This is South Wacker Drive with Willis Tower in the middle.
We left Chicago late afternoon on Monday, and headed to Schaumburg to the big Woodfield Mall. Everyone got walking (and a little more shopping) out of their system so we could head back to Tulsa.
Overall, we had a fantastic time. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves on this much needed vacation. My husband was an awesome driver in Chicago. Whenever he drives and gets aggrivated I tease him about his "inner Chicago" coming out. (Because seriously, Chicago drivers are ruthless.) But, on this trip, even in Chicago traffic, he kept his cool.

I really wanted to try to work out stopping in St. Louis on the way back, but it was going to be dark no matter what. So, we got a picture of the arch by the Mississippi as we passed by.
