Adventures in Chi-Town - Day Two

Friday was a very busy day! First we had coffee at Intelligensia - one of the best coffee houses in Chicago. Their mocha and banana bread was the best start to our morning!



Here's the hubby getting his java on...



Next, we went on the city's Architectural Boat Tour - what an amazing history the city has - and phenomenal buildings to boot. It really does take 1.5 hours to see it all.

Below you'll see the Trump International Hotel & Tower - from the first seasson of Apprentice fame...



A mixed-use structure, the Civic Opera Building houses both a 3400-seat auditorium and more than half a million square feet of office and retail space.



And the best part of the ride...the bar onboard! ;)



We had lunch at Reza's - and their lunch buffet was crazy...nothing like a little Persian food when you're far away from home!



Yummy kabob...but nothing like Nikou's! :)



That night we met up with Jon and Stephanie, who moved to Chicago so Jon can go to business school. They are such great friends!



They took us to Tsunami - a fabulous Japanese restaurant in the Gold Coast, and can you say sushi...what a fun night!
