Chicago, Illinois

Can you say 'magnificent shopping?'  Of course, I am assuming that is why they call it magnificent mile.  Besides wonderful shopping, the plants along the street were beautiful!  I wonder if my father-in-law could help me recreate this in my yard?

After a day of shopping, we went to Marshall Field's Culinary Institute.  They had everything set-up as if you were on a television show.

The Sofitel hotel with an incredible view of the lake!

                 The John Hancock tower - great view for after-dinner drinks!                                                         The Water Tower
