This is what it looks like inside. I love this! I am amazed by the fact that you can go upstairs in the cars and sit there. The Blings sat right here. You can see the tickets. I love that! Everyone was so friendly! I loved that too!

Bling pointed out that there were flags hanging from the city hall building on the left. I love the way the building look in shots like this! I got a t-shirt like the new flag colors, light blue with red stars. I love that! I also got BB that shirt she’s wearing!  I ❤ skyscrapers

This is the James R. Thompson building in Chicago

James R. Thompson Center1

The building opened in May 1985 as the State of Illinois Center. It was renamed in 1993 to honor former Illinois Republican Governor James R. Thompson. This building takes up an entire city block in downtown Chicago. Bling and I loved the elevator and all the windows and the architecture.

This is the left side of the entrance from where we were standing. It looks like a ship to me! I love that

This is the right side of the entrance from where we were standing.

This was Bling’s idea to take photos of the other buildings through the glass. I thought that was really cool! Bling is a great tour guide and she sure loves her city of Chicago! It’s her kind of town! 😉

Bling (aka Michelle)  came over last Sunday and left this morning around eleven.  She drove in from Oklahoma and we had a blast.

I took her to see The Bean and, truthfully, I never let her have any rest.  I kept taking her from one place to another.  It was her first time in Chicago:), so there was a lot to see.  I wined and dined her with diet Dr. Pepper (her favorite) and whipped cream cheese and strawberry jelly on bagels or toast.  🙂  We ate lunch when we were out everyday, otherwise that’s what we would have eaten all the time.  LOL  We had ice cream, cookies, popcorn, fruit cups, BAGS AND BAGS of chocolate covered donuts and other assorted healthy foods.  We had a fabulous lunch at California Pizza and we met Kim and Liz, two incredible local bloggers, at Olive Garden for dinner.  Kim brought the…
