Word to the wise, try VERY hard to avoid flying when in the midst of a sinus infection. My ears are still clogged and I’ve had a serious case of the spins for 2 days now. That’s less of a complaint and more of an excuse as to why I’ve been M.I.A. for longer than expected.
So by now you know I had the opportunity to spend the Easter weekend in Chicago and man was it a good time. Did you keep up with my Instagramming while I was gone? They are seriously serious about their architecture. Fun fact: since most of the city burned down during the Great Chicago Fire in 1871 that “Chicago buildings are noted for their originality rather than their antiquity.” I didn’t. I feel like I should have, but I didn’t.
Have you been there? Do you live there? What’s your favorite spot? On this trip the best thing we did was head to the lounge at the Hancock Tower. Instead of buying tickets to go to the viewing deck, we got almost as high up and spent the dough on drinks. Tada!

those shoot-straigh-up shots make-a me dizzy.
Seeing as how dizzy I actually am today, I can completely relate. Maybe that’s how I got the inner ear malfunction!
Thanks for stopping by, Don!

Great photos! But they still don’t have the Space Needle.
Hahah thanks, Sanj! You’re right about that! However, I didn’t get to do the glass balcony at the Sears Tower this time and I have a feeling that’s going to trump most of the tall building/monument hikes that I’ve made so far… boy does that look scary.

Great shots! Chicago is really a big city. I think I’ve seen some of those buildings in the movies before. I’m just not sure which movies.
