Oh that windy city! and trust me it was a cold windy one, But I fell in LOVE with this place. It is so amazing. So much history: the Worlds Fair, famous architects started here, the skyscraper was born here. Amazing. I was able to go to Chicago for school and I am so grateful for it. School has been rough, really rough, but the amazing oppourtunites that I have been able to recieve through it makes it all worth it.
I love Chicago. I really want to live there someday. The inspiration was overwhelming! This city has architecture overdose! All of it is amazing. the city is amazing. first having to rebuild after the fire, it amazes me how people create so many beautiful things. These buildings are so big and beautiful, so much detail and thought, years of hard labor, years of lasting. So amazing. I love it!
I had a great time, from an architecture boat ride, shopping, the amazing food, and the Greenbuild expo, this trip was one of my favorites to date.
Again picture overdose, but so worth it. if you love architecture get ready for a whole of of buildings. My camera broke 1/2 way through the trip so I didn't get as much as I wanted but its all in my head forever!
Our trip started with an awesome airplane nap. reading to each other, lost and couldn't find our hotel,but amazing food. oh the food!!
Pretty river front condos, going for $200,000, which is amazing I wish I had the money!!
Alright here is the overload of builings. I went on an architecture boat ride. Highly recommened if ever in Chi town, its the only way to see this amazing city. All these buildings were built by amazing architects with so much vision, hundreds of men building them for years for people to admire. I love looking at buildings old or new that have such a story to tell, so much history, so much awesomeness!! {is that a word?!}

Willis or Sears tower. people that live on the highest levels have to call down every morning to see what the weather is! so awesome!

The most amazing thing about this city is either old or new, this city is beautiful. It has such a combination of old architecture and new modern, but still it flows so well each other, just like people. it is so amazing.
Thats right, apartments on top, parking on bottom, amazing isn't it?
One of my favorite buildings. the way it was designed was that on ever level each apt or condo has an amazing view of the city, they each have thier own unique decking system so they all have a great view. See how people are so creative and amazing?!
