Chicago

I had an amazing opportunity to see Chicago and I couldn't resist. I left New Orleans and had to switch planes in Chicago on my way back to NYC. The plane was WAY overbooked and it was complete chaos at the gate. I saw that they were offering a free hotel, free round trip ticket anywhere in the U.S., and a food credit in the airport for anyone who would give up their seat. I was super exhausted and in NO rush....so I gave up my seat. I took the late flight home the next day so that I could tour around the city in the morning. I had no idea how great the deal was until I got to my hotel and saw how NICE it was. It was brand new and no one had ever even used my room before....nice! The only bad thing was knowing that my mom was stuck in the New Orleans due to bad weather in TX and had to spend the night in the airport. I was living it up and my mom was scared and alone as she slept on her suitcase....poor thing! Anyway....here are some of my pics.The pink in the reflection is my umbrella.Funky waterfall art in Millennium Park. The screen changes faces all of the time and expressions. Then it shoots water....cool!The rivers were amazing there. I thought the city was VERY similar to NYC but one a neat thing about Chicago is that they have really neat bridges over their rivers.Don't the cars look like the could just fall out of the parking garage? All of the cars are backed up to the edge. What if you hit the gas? Yikes!I got to see the Macy's Flower Show in Chicago too......very cool!
