Blaine to Bloomington Trip Report, Day 6

After a relaxing night of sleep, I rolled out of bed and headed back down to Houlihan’s, the restaurant I ate dinner at the night before. Naturally I was suckered in by the 10% off coupon, which makes no sense since everything was costing an arm and a leg in this city and 10% couldn’t possibly save me more than $2, but…I went there anyway. Turned out to be a good breakfast anyway, they had a nice buffet for $9.99, which seemed like an incredibly good deal for a restaurant along Wacker Drive.

After, I headed back to my room, packed up and checked out. I left my bags with the bell desk and headed down a couple of blocks to one of the stops of the Chicago Trolley Tour. This tour was fun and informative; for one fee, it would take you around to 18 stops throughout town, and you could get off whenever you felt like it and there would always be another trolley coming along every 8-10 minutes. Some of the tour guides were hilarious, others were dull, but in general I enjoyed the rides. Some shots from the trolley:
