Chicago Sheri

Monday, August 23, 2004

My sister in law and her family visited us this weekend.
We went downtown Chicago, had breakfast at Lou Mitchell's.
Took the free trolley service red line to Water Tower Place, to take my nephew in the Thomas the Train store.
Right away he picked up 2 boxes and would not put the down. He is really into Percy it seems.
Played at the train table, (still holding onto his boxes as he played). He got a box of 3 Percy trains, then of course had a meltdown when we decided it was time to move on.
Then we walked to Lake Shore Drive, to see if we could see some of the air show. Sat there for a bit and then walked through one of the ped tunnels under Lake Shore and sat at the beach. Watched people jog, skate, bike and walk by, and of course watched all the planes! Got to see the Blue Angels too.
Then walked to Navy Pier for more sightseeing.
Then decided to make our way back to Union Station to head home after stopping in for a burger at Billy Goat.
On Michigan by the Wrigley building there were some Caribbean acrobatic guys, watched them for awhile and then kept moving towards Union. Then on Washington and Franklin saw some Gotham Police Dept police cards (GPD) Managed to take a shot of one before a security guy chased us off.
Then got to Union station to head home.
We did a lot of walking that day.
