The night time one is pretty romantic. :) -------------- Bettia Life is all about timing... the unreachable becomes reachable, the unavailable become available, the unattainable... attainable.

Something we did that was unique is we went to the Sears Tower at night when the fog cleared from that day and the view was amazing, but the walk back to our hotel was a little scary. Shedd's Aqurium is really nice, especially the dolphin shows, but can be crowded Also you have to see the magnificent mile its probably the nicest place for walking and shopping in Chicago. -------------- Not just another New Years resolution

It was so cold while we were there, that we didn't get into Chicago, never mind the fact that the train was shut down lol. We had a good time just hanging out at the hotel and the Gurnee Mills Mall. Seeing my bubba was amazing, and even moreso was the 30lb loss he made. He looks completely different now, in a good way of course!! :love:
