Bean meets THE BEAN
Chicago river |
Art Institute of Chicago |
But I had one goal. See the BIG BEAN.
And it was glorious. It is actually called Cloud Gate but come on it is a bean.
After seeing the Bean we went in search of food and shopping, heading toward the Magnificent Mile. The only thing I bought was a coffee mug but it was fun to look at all the high end stuff.
All the buildings were amazing and it was really fun to wander around in such an awesome city.
We also found the most magical corner of all, Ghirardelli chocolate and the Hershey store located across the street from each of other. I was so sad that we were full of lunch. Next time we are heading straight to Ghirardelli and stuffing our faces there. We also didn't hit up Navy Pier but D reminded me that since we live here now we can always come back. Oh right. I can't wait to head back into the city and do some more exploring!
Love the photo of you in the bean!

ReplyDeleteYou should definitely head to Millennium park where the bean and other cool sculptures are. And then head straight to Ghirardelli and get one of those awesome ice cream desserts!
