Trip to Chicago

Recently, Lon and Christy took a trip to Chicago via Christy's job. She works at the Food Bank in Abilene, and there was a training conference in Chicago she attended. Lon went along for the ride, being a tourist on his own during the day. He and Christy used the evenings to check out the sites. They ate lots of Chicago-style deep dish pizza, enjoyed a boat tour of the city, visited the John Hancock observatory, Sears Tower, the Magnificent Mile (Michigan Avenue), the Art Institute, Navy Pier, Went to a Chicago Bulls game, and visited Chicago's House of Blues. It was a fun trip that we really enjoyed! (There is a video of the skydeck from Sears Tower posted below!)

Lon on the Magnificent Mile...lots of shops! (he was thrilled.)

Giordano's Pizzeria....awesome deep dish pizza!

We agreed it is the best pizza we have ever eaten.
