This is the Bean, as they call it in Chicago because of it's shape. It was so cool. It is in Millineum Park. Also here is a picture taken from the top of the Hancock Building observation deck, 94 floors up.ha.
We had a great time in Chicago, I didn't reialize that there were so many things to see there. We were there 2 & 1/2 days and still could have seen more stuff. The Weather was great, for Chicago. I tell you what!! Chicago has HOGGED all of the Starbucks! I bet there was a Starbuck about every 3 blocks. I think we seen at least 20-25 of them.
I would suggest if us girls went again as a group, we go and take the bus tour that you can get off and on as much as you want at different places and skip the shopping stores. The other stuff is WAY BETTER!!
I would like to go back later in the summer when the trees are full and everything is greener. It would be even prettier. We went to Grant Park where they held the inaugruation for Oboma and tried to imagine all those people there. WOW! It's a big park but still.
Anyway, had a great time and I will see you all at Founder's Day on the 30th at Knox College, 6pm.

Lois,
A trip to Chicago is always fun. Your idea sounds good to me. Chicago is beautiful in the summer. The flowers are beautiful and they are everywhere. Happy Anniversary!

I love visiting Chicago! If I can find them, I'll post some of my photos from Millenium Park last year. I know I have one of me in front of the bean.
BTW, very cool photo of Lake Michigan and shadows of skyscrapers. Impressive.
