After numerous attempts we were able to obtain dock space in Chicago harbor, arriving early Saturday am.
As soon as we were settled, we headed out on foot for Michigan Ave and walked north as far as the John Hancock building – about 4 miles with a stop along the way for some lunch. Our walk included the section known as Millionaire mile which is where you find many of the upscale stores. Chicago is one of our most favorite cities and being there again brought back so many happy memories. We re-visited the Water Tower Hyatt Hotel where we celebrated our 10th anniversary while living here in 1981 and passed through many shops. On Sunday, we toured the Adler Planetarium located adjacent to the marina, but time did not permit a visit to the Aquarium and Science Museum that were also on the grounds. This is cause for another visit in the future. Sunday evening we celebrated our return to Chicago after all these years with a spectacular dinner at Lawry’s Prime Rib restaurant with friends. A very special treat for anyone visiting this wonderful city.
The city streets and bike paths were constantly busy with thousands of people just out and about and enjoying the beautiful “hot” weather before their winter arrives. This city never sleeps and they definitely have a beautiful city to enjoy. It’s sad saying goodbye to this grand place.
