Chicago Trip August 2011

Our 1st Day in Chicago, Steven, Aidan, and Noah.


Ferris Wheel at the Navy Pier

Part of Chicago skyline including the Willis (Sears) Tower in the background.

The cloud or "Bean"  at Millennium Park with the skyline in the reflection.

Aidan lying flat under the cloud and his twin staring back at me.

Chicago had some beautiful gardens and this is just one of many.  This is taken from Millennium park looking towards the city.

This is a cool water structure. The pictures change approx. every 5 minutes and water comes out every 3 minutes.  The pics are of local Chicagoans.

Buckingham Fountain in Grant Park at night.

Buckingham fountain during the day.  Noah, Me, and Aidan.

Noah, Aidan, Steven, and me with the Chicago skyline as a beautiful backdrop.

This was taken from the Willis (Sears) tower, floor 103.  We went up at sundown and it was just gorgeous!

The tower has 4 glass boxes jetting out from the building that you can stand/sit in.  It was very unnerving for me but Noah had no problem sitting for me so I could take a picture of him.  Yikes that's high!!

What a way to end a day!!


The Willis (Sears) tower.

Frank Lloyd Wrights' Home/Studio

We took a stroll on Frank Gehry's bridge and took a picture of his signature architecture, called the ribbon, Frank Pritzer pavilion. 

This was one of Steven's favorite the Trump Tower (the blue one).  It seems to melt into the sky.

Aidan is my roller coaster partner and is enjoying this one on his own.

Rub a dub, dub 2 boys in a tub!  This is just Aidan's 3rd time on this ride.
