CHICAGO TRIP!

Our chicago trip was amazing!
There will be a more in depth blog post about it but here are some pictures to tide you over.


Some of the legendary Chicago skyline from our architectural cruise.  
**alert! art historical fact, don't fall asleep! :)** Chicago is known for its architecture;  the great Chicago fire happened right around the same time that all the technology for skyscrapers was being perfected [steel, elevators, fire proofing, etc.] --so they had the opportunity to rebuild their city in the new modern style of steel and class.  

Deep Dish Pizza from the legendary Gino's.  Yes the sauce is on top- but it was delicious!



We found the Sear's Tower!  It is soon to change its name but it is the tallest building in Chicago, and was at one point the tallest building in this country.

Some of us outside of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago.


More soon!
