The Windy (and Hot and Rainy) City


This past weekend, we took our last of big city tours for the summer. We headed north to Chicago for some family fun and a little Phishing trip for Mama and Daddy.

We first went across the street to Millennium Park to enjoy the public spaces.

It was soooo hot, this was the perfect way to cool off!

Who's that baby in the giant mirror?

Our fabulous accommodations of the Palmer House

To go Phishing, of course you need to take a boat to Northerly Island....

Little did we know this would be the mother of all storms...


Night One was cancelled two songs into the second set due to the storm. Night Two we got a treat of 3 sets (first time ever outside of a Halloween/New Years/Festival). It did rain however and we did get wet. Didn't stop us from dancing the night away....


 During the days, we escaped the hot weather with some museum trips. First up: The Shedd Aquarium.

Lizards!


I want those fishes!!!

 And of course we visited Sue at the Field Museum!


We enjoyed our trip to Chicago and really didn't want to leave. We will definitely return soon as we feel we barely scratched the surface off all it has to offer.
