Thanks, Lou.

Nope, no boat tour for me. Just walking the streets and riding the trains of the Windy City.

You're welcome..

If you have the time, when you travel to the Windy City in the future, the architectural boat tour from the Navy Pier is really worth it..It costs about $12 and you'll have a tour guide..You can get some great pics of the skyline from boatside..

Great pictures. I have been to Chicago a few times and I think that you captured many of the buildings beautifully. It makes me want to go back and see it all again.

Thanks Brad and skinzfan.

Brad - my regional HQ in Omaha is the Burlington Station and the corporate HQ is the Chase Tower in Chicago.

This reminds me that I never posted my Chicago photos from a couple weeks ago.

Man, Chicago must be crawling with Omahans with these low airfares.

I was thinking, when you can get roundtrip airfare for just about $70, there's really no excuse not to take a weekend, or even just a Saturday to go to Chicago, do some shopping or go to museums, etc.
