Chicago Skydeck

I recently enjoyed Chicago for the second time and loved it even more this time around. It’s truly an amazing city, with kind people, super clean spaces, and a beautiful amount of nature— a large park with climbing walls, tennis courts, the “bean”, fountains.., a beautiful blue river that runs through the city, and of course, the gorgeous sandy beaches along the clear, ocean-like lake! Beaches!! Right there in city! Volleyball, bike paths, boats, waterside restaurants, happy sunbathers, brave swimmers (bit chilly..). Honestly, I love it so much more than NYC, but then again I can’t stand mobs of people and grimy spaces. Oh my goodness and I almost forgot to mention the Magnificent Mile. A mile of glorious shops, eeee!

So, if you haven’t been, GO!

::Where I Went & What I Wore::

Here are the basic tourist attractions that I’m sure you’ve heard from everyone, and a few of my own suggestions:

Take in the views from the Skydeck (tip: you can stand in line for more than one glass box..try out different spots, but the end nooks seem like the best)
Grab a pretty and yummy latte from the very cute Pickwick Coffee shop
Walk through the beautiful Millennium park, take a selfie at the bean (Cloud Gate), watch the faces come on in Crown Fountain and “spit water”
Lounge or dine at the one of the sandy beaches
Shop the Magnificent Mile
Wander through the Harold Washington Library Center (see the dog tags exhibit of soldiers that lost their lives in Vietnam)
Enjoy a drink or dinner along the river walk
Stroll along the Navy Pier boardwalk— take in views from the Centennial Wheel (I’ll have to try this next visit), take the Architectural Boat Tour (I didn’t get a chance to do this, but others recommended it..)
