Touring Chicago

in Chicago, Illinois
Rainbow caused by the spray of a fountain. Warped reflection of city buildings. Looking downward through a glass floor at the top of a sky scraper. Chris pointing at the skyline. Couple smiling in front of Buckingham Fountain. Selfie from a kayak in the Chicago river. Woman paddline kayak in the Chicago river as they pass Marina Towers. Panoramic of Chicago river, lined with sky scrapers. View of Chicago from Navy Pier. Iconic CHICAGO sign at a theater.

Aside from the pride parade, our time in Chicago was done by the book. My mom is from a suburb so I've been to the city quite a few times. I was able to play tour guide for Karin, hitting all the must-see spots in basically one day.

Karin was really impressed by the architecture. She and I have been to cities that are much bigger by land area or population, but Chicago has some serious sky scraper action that's impressive even for a repeat visitor like me.
