Around the Corner: Chicago, Ferris Bueller Style
Okay, so Chicago isn't exactly around the corner, but it's someplace I visited for the first time last weekend on an impromptu road trip, and it was much closer than I thought. Time on the road including breaks from NYC: 11 hours. Albeit, the mister was driving the entire time, which may explain why it took a couple hours less than what was estimated on the navigation system.
As some of you know, Chicago is where the classic John Hughes' movie Ferris Bueller's Day Off took place. I had the pleasure of behaving like an absolute tourist and visited some of the locations featured in the film.
Exhibit A: The Art Institute of Chicago
Exhibit B: Atop the Skydeck at Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower
And Exhibit C: Wrigley Field, the home of the Chicago Cubs
And thank you for joining me this week -- next time I promise to take it back closer to home. ;)
Until next time,
