Parking Garage in Rosemont looking at ORD

I decided to break this one and the previous entry into two separate entries.  Partially because we spent time here on what is technically the next day.  And partially because it was a pretty good experience on its own, deserving of its own entry.

The parking lot in Rosemont looks across the Tri-State Tollway right at O'Hare International Airport (ORD).  If you meander up to the top level (that's 7) you can watch planes land right over your head.  It was pretty late at night, so we only saw one (and right as we were getting there, so we couldn't snap a pic).  But it sets up a pretty nice atmosphere.

We had parked on level 6 and took the elevator up to 7

That's ORD (across the Tri-State)

...and that's me hovering over ORD!

Starbucks SOW and O'Hare Oasis

So, seeing I have no way to get around on my own, I have to depend on my, uh, "owner" I guess you'd call him.  Anyway, everything in those first few weeks is a blur.  I remember a lot of coffee, and a lot of loud cars and trucks.  For example, on December 26, 2011 I was at the Starbucks at the Streets of Woodfield (SOW) in Schaumburg IL

and at the O'Hare Oasis on the Tri-State, near Chicago's O'Hare International Airport.

But I can't speak too much about either experience yet.  Sensory overload.
