Went to Chicago over the weekend. The trip was half business, half pleasure. It was good to visit the windy city again; it’s been about a decade since I’ve last been there. You can view pictures of my Chicago trip on Flickr. Here’s a summary of the trip:
- Went to a cool jazz/blues club called Andy’s Jazz Club.
- Ate at a trendy Thai/French restaurant called VTK (Vong’s Thai Kitchen). Also drank a Tiger and a Sapporo!
- Saw some of the financial district which was pretty neat.
- Paid a whopping flat parking fee of $22 at the Navy Pier, ugh!
- There are Starbucks everywhere which is great, but can get expensive!
- Went to the Apple store on Michigan Ave.
- Watched the Michigan-Ohio State football game at the ESPN Zone sports bar.
- Traffic wasn’t bad except a major detour for some construction on I-94 on the way there.
- The Sears Tower is 1,450 feet (443 meters) high–1,730 feet (520 meters) including twin antenna towers.
And you didn’t visit the art museum? http://www.artic.edu . That place is amazing. Sears Tower is always a fun place to go. Everytime someone mentions it or I pass by it, I think of Ferris Bueller. Good movie.
