Chicago Saturday!!!

Earlier in the week, Mark (friend who also came along to this Illinois trip) and I decided to go out to Chicago for this Saturday. We wanted to go all out and go to as many sightseeing places as possible, and now that we're back at the dorm, my feet are hurting and we definitely went all out!!!

Our day started at 5am when we woke up to make the 6am bus from Champaign to Chicago. We got to Chicago Union Station by 8:15am and had breakfast and began our long day visiting the following places...
-Sears Tower (Willis Tower) Observatory
-US Cellular Field (outside)
-Field Museum (outside)
-Shedd Aquarium (outside)
-Soldier Field (outside)
-Buckingham Fountain
-Millennium Park
-Magnificent Mile (on our way, we watched parts of the Memorial Day Weekend parade)
-Navy Pier (so many people)
-lunch eating Chicago Style Hot Dogs
-bought some Chicago caps
-Lincoln Park Zoo
-Wrigley Field (outside)
-bought some Wrigley shirts
-John Hancock Center (outside)
-United Center (just steps away from Game #1 of the Stanley Cup Finals: Hawks vs. Flyers)
-and finally, back to Union Station for our 10pm bus back to Champaign

We got back to Champaign by 12:30am and went to Legends for our 6th drink in 6 days there. A good beer to cap off an amazing day! =)

Now I just gotta recover from the foot sores (23.2 km walking today!!!) and slight neck sunburn!!!
