Chicago trip

Last week we visited Chicago with our travel buddies, RJ and JL.  We rode the Amtrak train and enjoyed that experience.  We acted like tourists as we visited the Navy Pier, Fine Art Institute, Shedd Aquarium and Museum of Science and Industry.  We walked the Magnificent Mile.  We visited the Willis Tower (formerly known as Sears Tower).  We enjoyed our vacation. 

We try to de-stress during our vacations.  Riding the Amtrak train was a stress-free mode of travel.  Instead of driving our car (and dealing with parking issues in a city we don’t know), we relaxed in our business class seats.  (Several people had recommended we pay the few dollars extra to get the roomy business class seats.)  We let someone else do the driving.
