I really love this city. It's big and it's alive...
It's full of people rushing somewhere all the time and that's why it reminds me of Warsaw and makes me homesick...
This picture was taken on Wednesday, as Bry and I were leaving downtown of Chicago...

These two pictures were taken today (Thursday), while Bry was taking his test...
In the first picture - on the right - you can see Trump's Tower being built and the Chicago River - in the middle... :)

That's Michigan Street, where on both sides you can find different stores and what is really unique - all of them are 2-3 stories ones...
I even found H&M, where I spent 2 hours just browsing and looking for cool stuff, which I found and bought (that was part of my Valentine's Day present)...
Unfortunately, I didn't make it to all other awesome stores - Forever 21 or Urban Outitters or Museums that I was interested in (Bry's test took only 4 hours and parking in Chicago is ridiculously expensive - $28 for 4h), but I'll make sure next time I'll spend more time in this gorgeous city! :)
Also, for our Valentine's Day, Bry took me to the restaurant. It wasn't what we really wanted (Chili's), but it was close to our hotel and since we had to get up early and leave early for Bry's test to miss some of the traffic (which we didn't really and so we spent over 2 hours in it and got a little late, which was BAD), so it worked for us... :) Plus we're planning on going to Longhorn Steakhouse anyways, so I didn't care that much... :)
Glad you had a good time. I'm not big on the big cities - but a special occasion is fun!
ReplyDeleteThe pictures really show the skyline.
ReplyDeleteBut I'm a small town gal. So glad you had such a good time, hope all went well for Bryan :) Grandma
Sounds like a great adventure - even with the expensive parking (I had no idea!) Glad it was nice for you both!
