We headed for Chicago 360, an extremely high tower as high as 94-floor buildings with all windows after leaving our hotel in the morning. Despite our hard and long walking, we had to change the time slot to night because it was fogged a lot. So, we decided to go back to cultural center and Milennium Park. Unfortunately again, but the cultural center was closed during the holidays. Milennium Park was so pretty with a huge Christmas tree and the Bean. We took a lot of photos there.

And we went back to the way of Chicago 360 to buy a souvenir for Kamaal at Chicago-original Harry Potter shop. We were able to find good things there. It was lunch time then, so we bought boas and egg rolls at a tiny Chinese restaurant there and fried chickens after arriving at Navy Pier. Before and after the lunch we walked around the building, at the other side of the bank of Lake Michigan. The surface, the lighthouse, and the sky were very beautiful. Then, we had smoothies and got a chocolate for friends. As we wanted to eat Chicago pizza, we went to a famous local chain restaurant inside and ate a special deep dished pizza. Finally at the Navy Pier, we went to "Light Up the Lake" event, which was illuminations inside. There were a huge tree, bear, boxes, and such.

After buying a Chicago small bag as a souvenir for myself, we went to Chicago 360 tower again. The scenery from it was so splendid and amazing. We entered the Milennium Park again to see the night version of the tree and the Bean, and we went back to the hotel being exhausted.
