Our morning started off with a cruise up the Chicago River, learning about the history of the architecture in Chicago. It was an amazing way to learn about the different styles of buildings. Then we took a walk through downtown and had lunch on Navy Pier.
In the afternoon, our architecture education continued with a walking tour of the history of downtown Chicago and its buildings. Then we spent the rest of the afternoon in the Chicago Architecture Center, learning yet more.
After a dinner of another famous Chicago food, Italian beef sandwiches, we finished our day in a Chicago architectural icon: The Willis Tower (aka Sears Tower). They had a neat museum about Chicago before heading up to the observation deck. The views of the city were just as breathtaking as we remembered. We even timed it right, so we could watch the sun set from 1,353 feet up in the sky.
