48 hours in Chicago


Finally after getting a decent amount of sleep, I was ready to tackle the day. We started with going to the Willis Tower to check out the Skydeck and get on that ledge. It was still early so it was great that there was no line and not too many people there yet. The view the city was gorgeous but the best part is the ledge, which is included in the ticket price. Actually standing on the ledge isn't as scary as I thought it would be.





Afterwards, we walked along the Magnificent Mile and ate dinner around the area, My cousin wanted to check out a certain sports museum inside this mall but unfortunately it was closed for the day. Other things we did was see the Chicago Theater since my cousin is super into jazz. We went into Macy's where the visitor help center is and they were so helpful with planning out how to use the bus system in the city.




We then took a boat tour than showcased the various types of architecture on the buildings in the city as well as the history behind them. I definitely recommend this boat tour because all the amazing buildings can be seen from the river. It is also the quickest way to see all the different buildings because walking would take too long.


















We then had dinner at Billy Goat Tavern and dessert at the Ghirardelli place, which I am so sad we don't have one here because everything they had was delicious. Then drinks at the bar at Cindy's Rooftop to watch the sun set and see the city really light up.
