My Mini-Vacation in Chicago

[Prairie Purrs]

I spent a few days playing tourist in Chicago with a couple of my Colorado friends. Here are a few highlights.

I discovered that one of the most spectacular views of the city is from the women's bathroom in the Hancock Building's 96th floor bar:



The renovation of Soldier Field really does look like a flying saucer landed right on top of the old stadium:



A boat tour on the Chicago River provides some unique views of the city's architecture:

And we saw the Harry Potter Exhibition at the Museum of Science and Industry!



We couldn't take pictures in the exhibition itself, but I was able to snap a couple shots of the Weasleys' flying car:




The exhibition was made up of costumes and props from the Harry Potter movies. Very cool!

I love Chicago! I went to Northwestern many, many years ago, and I still have friends in the area.

I'm so jealous! I'd love to see that exhibit! That sounds soo cool.

And I too love Chicago... we've made several trips up there since we moved to StL.
