We didn’t cycle a mile today but I am still exhausted from all of the activities!
We woke up at 8:00 am so that we could get some breakfast and start our day in the city. After breakfast, Jimmy and I took the bus to the Natural History Museum. We only had a few hours to roam the museum so we spent most of our time in the famous Dinosaur exhibit. Chicago’s natural history museum is home to the most complete T-Rex skeleton in the world. After spending some time in the museum, we walked across the street to look at Soldier Field, home of the Chicago Bears!
Next, we made our way north for lunch. Since we were near the famous Hancock Building, we decided to make the trek up to the top after lunch. The views were absolutely breathtaking but more importantly, we also had an accompanying audio tour which gave us the entire history of the city. When we finished at the top of the tower, we took North America’s fastest elevator back down to the ground level.
The next stop on the tour was to Navy Pier to check out the famous Ferris wheel. Then we moved to Millennium Park to check out the “Silver Bean.” After we were done touring the city, we made our way to dinner to have some famous Chicago Style Deep Dish. The pizza did live up to the expectations and hit the spot nicely for the evening. I wanted to continue to explore the city, but I really needed to update my blog and pictures so I made my way back to the hotel to do so.
Tomorrow we have a 95 mile day to South Bend!
