Day 3

Day 3:

Our day started early with a nice swim at 6:37 am, then we went back to the lobby and did some work until 11:00. When eleven rolled around we decided that we were going to head out the Willis(Sears) tower, specifically to the sky deck.

The Skydeck is a glass box near the top of the Willis(Sears) tower, It allows you to see the city from a bird's eye view. When we got to the entrance of the tower they said to the general public the wait would be 3+ hours, so we purchased a fast pass online and skipped the line. This combined with the experience at the aquarium the day before, leading us to believe that it always is better to buy tickets online and skip the line. Once up we got into the box pretty quickly and were surprised at how gorgeous the cityscape was.

After the sky deck, we went out for some classic Chicago hot dogs.

This hot dog was unlike hot dogs I have had in the past in that there were a lot more toppings on the hot dog. This dog had Pickles, as well as peppers, onions tomatoes, sweet relish, and mustard. It was quite good and interesting. once we finished with our Hot dogs we took a walk to Millenium Park to see the cloud gate (bean).

The CloudGate is a big mirrored bean shaped pieces of art that reflects the city skyline, it is gorgeous and just a little unnerving to look at. It is one of many pieces of modern art in Millenium Park. After some more in-depth exploration of the park, we walked over to the river and caught an uber back to our house. Where we relaxed until it was time for dinner where we went out to a thia/sushi place that is right across the street from our air bnb.
