Chicago Outing 5/30/2012

It felt so great coming back to the big city (Chicago) especially on a relatively cool afternoon. I decided to get a plan going with Rizz. The idea was to bring her relatives along with us. And through everyone's availability, it worked! They've been in the states since September of last year and that they haven't seen much of Chicago visiting only Grant Park and Lakeshore Drive that time (in which it was before winter). This time around, they saw a little more: the Willis Tower (previously, the Sears Tower), Cloud Gate (the reflecting mirror structure known as 'The Bean' in Millennium Park) and the Navy Pier. We took advantage of public transportation, too with the Metra commuter train as well as the CTA bus that got us going to our destinations in downtown Chicago. I was able to provide a video highlight reel on You Tube for all of you to check out. We had a great time.

On a sidenote, Rizz's uncle wasn't able to make this time as he is in the Philippines. He is due to return in a few months. Perhaps he too will get an amazing opportunity to check out Chicago and its signature landmarks.
