Chicago! (My kind of town)

So, Disneyland was my second trip of the month. My first was a weekend in Chicago to help celebrate Bel’s birthday. Despite a comfy bed and an exhausting night (maybe staying up until 2 a.m. isn’t an issue when I was a college student in Chicago, but it’s a different thing 20 years later), I was up early enough our first full day for a quick morning run. So, these are my running pics. We stayed at theWit, on State and Lake (which looks WAY different than I remember, even from 10 years ago when I was in grad school), so found a quick loop to do that didn’t kill me, but burned did just enough to let me have a more than enjoyable breakfast at Glazed and Infused, a crazy (good) doughnut spot that happened to be along this run route.

Chicago

That’s what we always called it. I don’t even know the official name. This is where House of Blues is, where we may or may not have spent a long night drinking

 

Trump Tower along the Chicago River

So gaudy. Thanks, Donald, thanks

Water Tower on Michigan Ave

Water Tower. The only time to get a shot of this is early in the morning when no one else is awake

John Hancock Tower

Now when I see this I think of “Divergent” Not happy thoughts, mind you.

Marshall Field

Now known as Macy’s. Across the street from our hotel. Miss you.

Chicago Theater

Chicago Theater, just because.

Glazed and Infused

Why go running early in the morning? So I can come here later in the morning.

Great memories, this city.
