To end the day, we walked the Magnificent Mile, admiring its luxury shops, landmark hotels, and architecture.
The highlight was the LEGO Store, complete with a detailed LEGO model of the Willis Tower. The shop is far more impressive than our local one in Australia.
Next door to the LEGO Store Chicago is Unicorn World, a colourful and sparkly children’s boutique, unapologetically targeting rainbow princesses as its customers.
We also stopped by It'Sugar Chicago, a candy lover's paradise packed with every sweet imaginable. This type of store seems unthinkable back home in Australia.
Just as we turned the corner towards our hotel, we spotted the massive four-storey Starbucks Reserve Roastery.
We knew we were getting close to our hotel as we began crossing beneath the elevated tracks of the 'L'.
