This morning I boarded a plane for Chicago.
It's time once again for the ACE (Allscripts Client Experience) conference.
We decided to go a day earlier so that we could make the most of our time there.
I told the girls I would send a picture from the plane so they could find our house.
I love how the Chicago Midway Airport tells it like it is. Snacks and Toilets.
We arrived to the hotel and checked in. Next on the agenda was lunch.
The pizza was fantastic and it was a shame that we couldn't finish it.
After lunch we decided to take a Wendela Boat Tour. Something I have always wanted to do when visiting Chicago and had never done one.
90 minute tour including the river and lake for $26 per person.
Well worth every penny!
It started down the river with a tour guide pointing out places you might want to visit and telling stories about the history of the city.
I have always loved this building with the circular parking ramp. It's featured in movies like Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Dark Knight, The Break-Up and more.
The buildings along the river are breathtaking.
The weather today couldn't have been more perfect.
After the boat tour we walked around Milleniumn Park.
At this resturant they have 6 made fresh for you desserts. You place your order for this dessert while you are still eating your meal (since they take 30 minutes to bake) and then they are brought out to you fresh from the oven. Delish!

Ah ACE, it looks like you're taking in a good bit of Chicago! Love doing tours in new cities because you get to see and hear a lot that you normally wouldn't see or hear...
