Chi-town Adventure

Last week my brother called me to say that he was buying a car and wanted me to help him pick it up.  Being that the car was a 2000 black civic si, that intrigued me even more. Later I learned that we weren't picking the car up from reynoldsburg, or pataskala, or even newark. We were going to Chicago. Now I'm in.

My seat for the flight wasn't bad. It was about a 50 minute flight from Columbus to O'Hare.  It's different flying in the middle of the week. I feel like my Chuck Taylor's and Ferrari jacket weren't business formal enough.

Walking through O'Hare is a lot different than walking through Port Columbus.  The style and artwork is completely different, not to mention the size of the place. But, off to pick up the car we go.

Just some of the amazing architecture that Chicago has to offer. The city is amazing just to drive through. It's a mix of old and new.  Every block you travel there is something more. I could have taken a hundred more photos of the architecture alone.

Two of my favorite pictures of the whole trip. I was in awe of the monorail system that was right above our heads.

Here's the monorail passing over as we were parking the car. The city was surprisingly easy to navigate as we were in search of North Wells Street and the famous Lou Malnati's.

Opened in 1971, Lou Malnati's has to have the best deep dish pizza in Chicago. I admit we didn't eat any other pizza on the trip, but we didn't have to.  It was so delicious.

Soldgier Field. Enougth said. Home of so much NFL history. I wanted to go in, but I think I will wait to come back to go to a game when this place is rocking. I love how the new stadium seem to be growing out the old, its great.

One last look before we make the trek. What a great city, so much to see. It makes me want to go back and I'm actually already planning the next trip.

These pictures don't do these giants justice, but we found these in northern Indiana along I65.  They are planted for as far as you can see to the East and to the West. Definatley some machines i'll be looking to learn more about, i'd just like to know how much they produce.

The six hour drive wasn't the best part of the trip, but still part of the adventure.  Chicago is such a cool city, I want to go back already...well, when it's warm at least.  Lot's of history, food, culture, and more.
