Our second day was the tour day. We try to visit all the principal "must to see" places in Chicago. Since the first moment I saw the City Skyline and streets I just like it.  We start our one day tour in the famous Millennium Park and surroundings, the "cloud" at this park was just amazing. From there we take a short walk to passing by the Art Institute of Chicago, an the Congress Plaza. The monuments on the path were just great,
Our next stop was the Field Museum, it was also a great experience, for me was the first time to see a Dinosaur, in this case the famous SUE, the most complete fossil of a T-Rex, the display also of natural life and ancient Egypt was amazing.
From the museum, we headed to the not less famous "Sears Tower" now known as "Willis Tower", in this  experience I went alone to the top floor of the building (103), and literally I stand in the air, as they had a new featured called "The Ledge" that is a glass box build-ed outside the building so you can see the street at your feet at 103 story high building, the view and the experience was breathtaking.
After that, we went to the United Center home of the Chicago Bulls, and to see the "Michael Jordan Statue" located at the front of that arena.
Leaving the United Center we headed to the "Navy Pier" another attraction of the city, must for the spectacular view you had of the city skyline.
At that time it was almost 9;00 p,m, so our first tour day was ending, we just made a short stop in front of the famous "Chicago Theater".
