We had a late flight out of O’Hare back to Toronto on Friday, so after checking out of our hotel room we headed to The Art Institute of Chicago. There was a Picasso exhibition that was ending on Sunday. We started the day at Daley Plaza to see the Picasso statue.

The Atrium Mall inside the James R Thompson Building.

After the Art Institute, it was back to the hotel to pick up our bags and then the subway out to O’Hare.
We had a great week in Chicago, we walked and walked and walked some more. The weather was good for most part and it only rained the one night. We look forward to returning here one day for another visit. We were delayed about 30 minutes leaving Chicago and Angela and Gillian came to pick us up at the airport.
