Today we went to downtown Chicago to see a matinee performance of Young Frankenstein. We got down there about an hour early and since it was a pleasant day we decided to walk the few blocks down to State Street. This is the main shopping area of what is called "the Loop". We checked out the decorated windows in Macy's (formerly Marshall Fields) and went inside. I suggested we go to check out the tree in the famous Walnut Room. We had to go to the 7th floor to view the tree. There is a dining room and there was quite a wait to eat under the tree. This picture was taken a floor above, I actually took 2 pictures with my phone and used the software from my camera to stitch them together. It is a beautiful tree and possibly we'll go back down before the holidays are over to have lunch under the tree.
P.S. The play was very funny and we had a great time!
looks like a beautiful tree Lin!I think having lunch under it would be ideal! hope you guys do it! glad you enjoyed the play :)

ReplyDeleteIt's very pretty! I'm totally ready to start decorating!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun day, and that tree is gorgeous. You did a great job stitching the photos together, I can't even tell!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to stop by and wish you and your family a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving! :)
Glad you had a nice time. Happy Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to downtown Chicago since I used to work there. I was going to take my daughter this weekend but we decided to just go shopping at Orland Square Mall & maybe go to the show.
ReplyDeleteI have had some wonderful memories as a kid going downtown and looking at the windows.
