Touring The Park District
















We woke up early this morning. Ariana & I wanted to walk around the parks south of the Navy Pier. We walked about four miles today. Breakfast was at a local Italian eatery near the John Hancock building. Ariana had sausage, eggs, & french toast. I had some hash browns and a bacon, egg, & cheese sandwich. Since I have been trying to watch what I eat I thought my breakfast wasn't diet friendly. That's why I'm glad I walked around the city to burn all those calories off. After breakfast we decided to do some geocaching in the parks. We saw some pretty cool sites and grabbed a lot of cool pictures. at 12:07pm we decided to grab some lunch at Subway and head off to the Chicago History Museum. The admission was $14.00 each but it was free today and we enjoyed our stay. The coolest thing we learned is that the Chicago fire in 1871 was caused by a cow tipping over a candle in a barn. We left the museum at 5:45pm and headed back to the hotel to relax for a bit. Before we went out to dinner we stopped at the bookstore around the corner. We head back home tomorrow. We enjoyed our short stay to Chicago and this was our third time coming here. We look forward to future trips to the windy city in the future.
