We went straight to get Chicago pizza and local beer at the famous Giordano's. We walked all around the city, went to Navy Pier on an Architectural boat tour, went running early one morning to and around Millennium Park. My days were spent very busy at the Merchandise Mart viewing showrooms and new products with other designers in the commercial furniture world. The merchandise mart is Huge and we were worn out after the long days.
Craig took advantage of enrolling in a Physical Therapy CEU (in a town near by) and also touring Sears tower and the Field museum of natural history while I was working.
We had nice dinners with my boss Kris and designers who traveled with us from N.O., had drinks at Trump Tower and walked Rush street at night.
We sure missed our babies but they were with Craig's parents and mine so it made it easier knowing that they were very busy having fun and being spoiled!
