Chicago is one of the cities that I have wanted to visit for awhile. We started our day off at the Willis Tower where we had a view of Chicago.
It was a little foggy in the morning, but we were still able to see pretty far. I got Colin's mom out on the sky ledge and you can see the look of uncertainty on her face!
Lunch was our next stop and we ended up at Perry's Deli. The portions were huge and the food very good. I would definitely recommend this place. We all gave it 2 thumbs up!
After lunch we hopped on a double decker bus tour to see downtown Chicago. The bus makes several stops and you can hop on and off at any stop along the way. One of our stops was Navy Pier.
I think Chicago has the most beautiful skyline of any city that I have seen thus far. The architecture is amazing. Colin and I can't wait to go back when we can spend some more time there. I was surprised at how clean the downtown area was and how friendly the people were. I told Colin I think we have been living in the northeast too long! Colin was wearing his Bruins shirt (the Bruins were playing the Blackhawks in the Stanley Cup Finals), and he expected to hear some ribbing. Every single person said what a great series it was and good luck to your team. If the situation had been reversed and a Blackhawks fan was wearing his teams shirt in Boston, he would have been heckled and swore at. It was a different experience for sure!
You can't go to Chicago and not have pizza, so we ended the day at Vito & Nick's. They are known for their thin crispy crust pizza that we love and can't get in the northeast, so we opted for that over deep dish. We were not disappointed. It was great pizza. Next time we are there we will hit up Gino's East, which was recommended to us by a few people. Until next time, Chicago!

This is a city I have only seen from the air and the airport:( It is definitely on our list of places to visit someday. It looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm so glad you were able to meet up with Colin's parents and have such a fun trip. It looks like summer is treating you well:) Miss you guys.
