All good ideas. I thought I would take the Mrs. BengalHawk to Gary, via East St. Louis and find a nice quiet side street to park and take a stroll thru the neighborhood. Have a picnic and just do some people watching. 
Yes, the South Side is our dream destination vacation spot.
No you fools! This is an anniversary trip, not a tour of duty. We are probably going to do the architectural tour during the day and then do the hop-on hop-off bus tour at night. This way we get to see a lot of the city that we normally wouldn't get to see. I would love to see the top of the Sears tour, but......time limitations and the fact that if i'm more than 4 inches off the ground, my fear of heights gets in my head and then bad things happen........bad things. We are headed up to Wrigley to catch the Pearl Jam concert (a dream of mine to see PJ in Wrigley), and then maybe head down to Navy Pier the next day to see the bean and what nots. Our hotel is literally, 2 blocks from Giordano's Pizza. How freaking excited am I for some authentic Chicago deep dish pizza? This excited!!!!!!
I've heard of the Billy Goat tavern.........we may have to stop in for a refreshment. A blues bar is right around the corner from the hotel. I'd like to stop in there too. In high school, our Senior trip was to Chicago. Can you imagine that? About 45-50 high school seniors from BFE Iowa, most of us haven't ever been off the farm, placed smack dab in the middle of downtown Chicago....at night? Oh, we're lucky none of us got shanked. But anyways, we did go the Natural History museum while out there then. I'd love to go back, now that I have a much more deeper appreciation for history.

Deceitful, two-faced she-woman. Never trust a female, Delmar, remember that one simple precept and your time with me will not have been ill spent.
