We packed and left Auburn. Just about a three hour drive. We arrived in Chicago around 11 am. We dropped our bags at the hotel. This is when we found out if we were in a good area or not. This section of town was an high end section. The upper north side. Not far from Wrigley Field.
We dropped the rental car at the State Street location. We did not know we could have dropped the car right around the corner from the hotel.
We wanted to explore Chicago so we headed toward the river. We we so close to the Chicago Theater and didn't even know it. We did walk down the river walk to the marina. It was a beautiful mile or so walk. Darrin enjoys walking around the boats. After that we walked around Navy Pier to see everything that is offered. We went inside the crystal garden and enjoyed the area. We even took a break to just sit and watch people.
Inside the shopping area we got Ben and Jerry waffle cones. We talked about what we wanted to do with the Go Chicago Pass
We took a taxi back to our hotel and cleaned up. We went for a long walk to go to Giodano's Pizza. We had been told this was the best Chicago pizza. The waiter warned us that the pizza takes 45 minutes just to bake. We took our time finding the perfect pizza to order
It took 45 minutes to bake. When it came out our waiter wanted to do the cheese pull. He was not very good at it. I did take pictures. After eating a piece and letting the pie cool down I was able to do a great cheese pull.
After dinner we headed back to the hotel and discovered we were in the rainbow section of town. All kinds of people dressed in crazy outfits started hitting the street. There was everything from drag queens to every color of hair. Men and women all out to have a good time.
We headed in for the night in our tiny room with a very noisy air conditioner.
