Rd Trip with Dad Day 2
We got up around 6:00 AM today to make the trip into Chicago. believe it or not we didn’t even hit any traffic on the way into the city at around 8:00 - 9:00 AM.
Dad go us some tickets on the double decker bus tour. It was a great way to see the city and learn a lot about it in a short time. The weather couldn’t have been nicer but it was a little warm by the end of the day. The only thing we didn’t see that I wished we had seen is Chess Records.
We had tickets to go up in the Sears Tower but the wait was about two hours, We’re bringing those tickets back with us. They don’t expire for a year so let me know if you want them.
Instead of going up in the tower we ate at Giordano’s Pizza. I ate at one on Rosemont about three years ago and was really impressed. I insisted we eat there today and Dad says it’s the best pizza he’s ever had.
I took this picture of Sears Tower while laying in the grass in a park after lunch waiting on the tour bus ti pick us up. Actually, it’s not even called Sears Tower any longer. I can’t remember the new name but I eard on the news reciently that someone new took control of the tower and the had naming rights so they renamed it.
We ended up at a Cabela’s near Milwaukee. Dad has been looking for a particular type of fishing rod and he found it today. They usually sell for about $100 each and he bought two of them for a total of about $75. I told him on the way out of the store he looked like the kid that found the prize egg.
Tomorrow we’re off to Minneapolis and I’m sure we’ll be in another Cabela’s too.
