Indy/Chi-town adventure

My friend, Megan, got married...in Indiana. Couldn't really think of anything to do in Indiana, other than the wedding, so we decided to throw in a quick trip to Chicago (2 hrs away). We arrived in Chicago on Friday morning 

Then rented a car....

Grabbed lunch...

Almost hit a pole...clearly we didn't see this sign first...

then started our 2 hour journey to Crawfordsville, IN...

Then came wedding day...

  Wedding day 9/28/13

After the wedding...tired and getting rested for the next day's road trip to Chicago! 

Almost there!

City skyline coming into view!

We made it! After dropping off the rental car and catching an airport shuttle, we headed to our hotel. We stayed at the Club Quarters on the 9th floor...which meant the other buildings around us were very tall 

Very tall...

The rooms were sectioned off into little pod like things...

And had a see-through bathroom door. Good thing we love each other :-)

Very tiny room...but perfect for 1 night and just 2 people.

And instead of just a plain ice machine, they had fill your own water bottle stations on each floor. Very useful!

After exploring our hotel, we set off on foot to explore downtown Chicago! Of course, we HAD to stop by the Museum of Contemporary Photography...

Then to Grant Park

That's Buckingham Fountain in the background.

Then we moved on to Lake Michigan...but I wasn't getting as close as Jason decided to...

I was told that no trip to Chicago is complete without the L and Garrett's popcorn...so we made sure we took care of both of those things...

Then as we decided to find Willis Tower...

As we walked, and took pics of buildings... Jason convinced me to go to the TOP!!!

It's a really tall building...

AHHHH!!!

I came this far...might as well...

I'm 1,353 feet in the air, standing on 1.5" thick glass.... :-/

I did it! Then it was time to head to dinner at Hard Rock. 

On our way I spotted this iconic sign! 

After dinner and walking back to our hotel (27 Chicago blocks total)...we crashed!

The next day, we checked out and caught our shuttle back to the airport to head home. But not before having a genuine Chicago dog from Gold Coast.

It was a quick trip...but it was another good adventure to add to our list :-)
