Had a good sleep and now ready to explore a bit of Chicago. First we headed out into the rainy day to find some breakfast. Once fed we were off to the shopping area called "The Magnificent Mile". Jim is in search of an iPhone 7 and there is an Apple Store along this street. After waiting for 45 minutes in a line for purchases of iPhone 7's, he had his new toy. We then made our way to a grocery store for a few things before heading home.

We lazed around the condo part of the afternoon as it rained. By mid afternoon it had stopped raining so we wandered down to Navy Pier to check out the attractions there. There is a Ferris wheel there that is 200 feet tall. We will try it out if the sun ever comes out!

The condo complex has its own 2 1/2 acre park on an area surrounding the third floor. It has a large outdoor pool, a pond with ducks and a small waterfall, a BBQ area, kids playground and over 80 trees. Very impressive! Wish the sun would come out so we could enjoy it. Later we had a nice dinner in our condo while taking in its amazing views.
