Chicago!

Well, Thursday Aug. 28th at 5:30 p.m. Matt and I left the girls with Grandma and Grandpa B and flew off to Chicago. We went to have some time to ourselves and to visit Matt's sister Sarah and her husband, Justin.

We packed a lot of fun stuff in 5 days. We went shopping on the magnificent mile. We went to the Museum of Contemporary Art (this is where Sarah works). We went to Millennium Park, and walked around downtown. We also visited the Museum of Science and Industry. We took in a "Blue Man Group" show. We went to the beach of Lake Michigan. And, we ate a ton of all of Chicago's great food.

We had a lot of fun and really enjoyed the city of Chicago and look forward to going back someday.

This is one of the Blue Men and I. I just happened to see him and had Matt take this picture.

Sarah, Justin and I at Lake Michigan. I was amazed at how much it was like the ocean.

Matt and I taking our picture in this giant metallic bean in Millennium Park. It was surprising how intrigued people were looking at their reflection.

A fun fountain in Millennium Park that put people's faces up on these huge screens and then they would spit water out of their mouths. It was crazy how many people were playing in it.
