Chicago - Day 1
We are in Chicago! So far, everything is going well. We got a little later start out than we wanted, so we got caught up in rush hour traffic on the expressway. But other than that, all has gone well.
We rented a Nissian Versa for our trip.
We saw these windmills on the way up. There were probably hundreds of them.
We are staying at the Ambassador East Hotel here in Chicago. We booked the room through Priceline. We were surprised to find out that we have a suite for our room. It is really nice. Here are some pics of the suite:
We had dinner at Texas de Brazil. If you haven't heard of it, it is a Brazilian steakhouse, where you can eat from a salad bar like you have never seen, and then are served cuts of different types of meat by carvers that come to your table. We had sirloin, chicken, lamb, filet mignon and barbecue pork. I am not really a meat person, and I loved it! We were so full after dinner. The restaurant had an acrobat performing for the guests. She posed for a picture. Our server was nice enough to take a picture of us.
More pictures tomorrow, along with stories of our adventures.
