Chicago

We went to Chicago last week. It was so cool. I got to ride in an airplane, a train, a taxi, a trolley, and a city bus all in the same trip. McKenzie was so excited that she learned to say Chicago.





Our first day there we went to Navy Pier. McKenzie and I were almost tall enough to see the lake...




We had a better view when we went up in the ferris wheel.




The rest of the week, we went to the Shedd Aquarium and to the Thursday farmer's market in Daley Plaza. We also ate at a bunch of different restaurants: Italian, Thai, Mexican, Chinese, and Hot Dog place. On Friday, we went to Millenium Park. There's a really cool reflective "baloon" there.




Apparently, I've been to the balloon before. Here's a picture Daddy has from almost exactly two years ago.




When I saw this place, I said "Daddy, the baloon broke"...




There's also a really cool fountain in Millenium Park. Check this out:




On Saturday, we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo. It's the largest free zoo in the country. The coolest part was the polar bears.

Cool, cool stuff. Thanks for sharing all of this. Dad and I didn't know about Millenium Park. Looks like you had a great time.
