Road Trip: Chicago, IL Part1

Monday: We spent the day exploring Chicago and walked on the sky deck in the Willis Tower, the tallest building in Chicago.


     
Really excited but a little scared to step out on the ledge.

We were on the 103rd floor!

1,353 feet high!!

It was really cool:)


Love all the sculptures and fountains!

Mini Chicago.

Best Popcorn in the world! Love love LOVE!

Oh my Chicago's deep dish pizza is delicious!

Tuesday: Spent all day at the ART INSTITUTE!! This is the number 1 on my list to do in Chicago and was my absolute favorite! We saw some famous work and the exhibits was so cool.

The Art Institute!

One of the best exhibits, the miniature rooms. Loved it! Many tiny rooms with details from that period.

Paper weight exhibit.

The museum was filled with different collections from all over the world.

I love the Buda statues.


Native American room was very interesting.

African masks.

Italian knight.


They had lots of my favorite artist Claude Monet's work and many others.




My favorite was the Impressionist, Fashion, and Modernity it's a special exhibit, so I could not take photos:( They had well known fashion paintings and the clothing, accessories that were similar to the one in the painting.


That night we heard some great blues at Buddy Guy's Legend and visited the BEAN!!
