Chicago Day 1

We arrived in downtown Cleveland by 1 a.m.to catch our megabus!
We arrived in Chicago shortly after 6 a.m. to Union Station.
We walked with our bags to our hotel.  Thank you priceline!
Breakfast @ Corner Bakery
Then we headed for a stroll through Navy Pier.  
(This photos was not taken when we were there this time. There was NO ONE thereat 7 a.m.!)
Our awesome hotel people had it ready for us by 9:30!  So we headed there for some clean up time and to check out our room!

Shower time, because 5+ hours on a bus leaves you feeling yucky!
Then a stroll down Magnificent Mile where we found Buzz & Woody t-shirts for the boys.  They're going to wear them for their birthday party Saturday!  (Pictures to come after the shin-dig!)
Pizza at Gino's East!

 Then it was off to Blue Man Group in the Briar Street Theater!  This was by far the best show I've ever seen!  It was amazing!  I will definitely see it again if given the opportunity!
We very stupidly decided to walk back to our hotel from the theater on some bad advice from a local.  It was an hour + long walk through Lincoln Park and along the water front the whole way, which left us very sore, but we did see some very interesting sights along the way!
Our walk lead us back to Navy Pier for dinner at Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.!
Following dinner, we were EXHAUSTED and took a cab back to our hotel for a relaxing night and early sleep!

A post about Day 2 coming soon!
