Mom and dad arrived on June 18 and stayed until this morning. We had such a nice time. On our first weekend together we traveled down to Chicago and stayed the night. Here are some pictures from our trip....in no particular order.
Waiting for the river/lake tour to begin on Saturday afternoon. We had a great time. It was a 90 minute boat ride explaining the history and architecture of Chicago. We road down the river and also into Lake Michigan.
On Saturday night we went up to the Signature Lounge on the 96th floor of the Hancock Building. GO HERE!! If you go to Chicago visit the bar in the Hancock instead of the observation deck. Have a drink, relax and take in the view. I did not show up well in the picture but you can see how pretty the lights were at sunset.
Below: Champagne....yay!!
Of course I had to take a picture of it.....you know me.
Mom and I with our champagne...we were very excited about our drink with a view.
View from the river/lake tour.
Ordering a Chicago hot dog at a street vendor after our visit to the Field Museum.
A garden we found near Grant and Millennium parks.
Dad and I in the park on Father's Day for a picture!!
Mom, dad and Jimmy on Navy Pier.
Of course I can't miss a photo opportunity. Mom and dad with fellow farmers in American Gothic.
Horse on Michigan Ave.
Posing on the beach. After soaking our aching feet in the lake.
Dad soaking his feet in Lake Michigan.
No trip to Chicago is complete without seeing The Bean. I have seen this thing about four times now and each time I am still amazed......
