The Art Institute of Chicago

After a hearty breakfast we walked along the lakefront to Millenium Park where the art gallery was located. It was enormous and we tried to see it all in an afternoon. From there we walked to the Buckingham Fountain. Exhaustion was setting in so we decided it was time for supper. We walked by many, many restaurants and gazed at the window-mounted menus but could not reach a consensus. Eventually we settled on a unique restaurant called Sweetgreen that served made-to-order bowls of locally sourced ingredients. One thing we agreed on was that it was delicious. By the time we walked back to the hotel to pick up our overnight tote bags, hop the bus to Union Station, board the train, find our car, and drive the 1 1/4 hours back to the resort (missed our turn!), we were pooped! It was all worth it though as we had a great 2 days in Chicago.Læs mere
