Chicago
Greetings, friends and family. One of the things Craig wanted to do this summer was go to Chicago and visit the Sears Tower..which is now the Willis Tower. So we headed west and stayed with my Aunt Cindy for a couple nights. Of course my camera lost power mid-way through the tower visit, so we didn't capture all the images we wanted...but here are a couple....
Overall the trip to the tower was fine...the 2 hour wait to get to the top...not so much. I am not sure, but I think my boys forgot why we were there....my suggestion- don't visit on a Saturday at 10:30......
After our trip up 103 floors...we went to Rain Forest Cafe, which is what the boys wanted to do. Then we walked 11 blocks to the H&M store and did a little school clothes shopping for Jack. For those of you not familiar with H&M...think Old Navy, 'cept European. The boys were real troopers. They never complained once...not up in the tower not while trying on clothes. Little angels.
I HAVE to mention, we did not fund this weekend. My Aunt footed the entire bill....from parking to the tower fee....to all our meals, plus sent us home with a weeks worth of groceries!!! Thanks again, Aunt Cindy!
I can hardly believe summer is almost over. We are headed north to the Lakehouse for Labor Day weekend. Our last hoorah! I'll take pictures and post them next week.
Love to you all.
