A great way to see Chicago is aboard an Architectural Cruise where major modern skyscrapers and landmarks are eager to impress. Be sure to book tickets a few days in advance, the weekend time slots fill up quickly. I was enthralled with taking in the massive skyline from a different vantage point. This city is certainly a unique and interesting place, much different to me than Boston, but just as easy to fall in love with.
This looks like such a fun trip! I think my sister was actually on one of the architectural cruises the weekend you were there!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that tour! So happy you did it. Looks like you had perfect weather for it too. Such a great way to see the city.
ReplyDeleteI am in desperate need to get to Chicago. And whatever is in that milkshake, I want that too.
ReplyDeleteI always thought that the architecture tours are one of the best ways to see Chicago. Can't beat the views!
ReplyDeleteI have a couple friends who live in Chicago and they are always raving about it. It looks like a fun place to visit.
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that this post is making me think of Vince Vaughn in The Breakup?! Awesome pictures. Chicken sandwich looks tasty!
ReplyDeleteSo funny that I also just did this exact tour and posted today. Of course, your photos absolutely put mine to shame :(. It is such an amazing tour to do.

ReplyDeleteEvery year I miss the cutoff for this tour by days (I go end of Nov), but have always heard such awesome things! I really need to plan a summer trip here. Great pics!
ReplyDeleteI've done that same tour twice and have many similar photos- I LOVE it and think its a definite must-do in Chicago, along with seeing a Second City show which I also recommend to everyone :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Chicago! Took an architectural tour a few years back, but would love to do it again. That Oreo shake looks soooo delicious!
