We arrived in Chicago after driving straight through the night from Boulder, Colorado where we left at 4pm the day before. Chicago is such a great city that we couldn't just drive by without stopping. So, we spent a few hours checking out the Sears Tower and Millenium Park before heading on to Ann Arbor.

Looking north, with Lake Michigan in the background.

Chicago has a great mix of old and new architecture.
