Things I Experienced For the First Time Ever While On My Annual Visit to Downtown Chicago, The List:

Throwback to June 19, 2013

1. Joined by only one companion–Youngest Child

2. Took a Chicago Architectural Foundation walking tour of early skyscrapers

3. Shook my head in disbelief as I walked through the State Street Target (!!!) in the architecturally glorious former Carson Pirie Scott building

4. Ate at the Walnut Room (the signature chicken pot pie!) on the seventh floor of Marshall Field’s

5. Enjoyed Frango Mint ice cream pie

6. Uttered the phrase, “Let’s take selfies in front of the Bean!”

7. Sat on the floor in front of a window on the Skydeck of the Sears Tower, gazing at the lights of the night from 103 stories up, until security informed us the building was closing.
