Chicago sites

Since my last post, we have been spending time doing lots of walking, visiting the park, heading downtown and one more visit to the beach on Sunday that was unsuccessful due to a crazy amount of traffic! It has been much hotter these past two days so keeping cool has been a challenge- searching for sprinklers while on walks helps!

This puddle was a great find- Ella took off her shoes and waded in it for a while.

This is where John works downtown.
Check out the address of John's building- from Madison, VA to Madison St. Chicago!
We went to see John's office.
Here is the view from his office- 39th floor.

Near the end of the Magnificent Mile, there is a newly erected sculpture of Marilyn Monroe.
View from behind- complete with lace undies!!
This sculpture is huge- she makes Cleve look tiny.
The river running through the city is beautiful.
Here is the city girl at Starbucks in downtown Chicago.
We have one more night here and then we are off to Pennsylvania to the BMW rally. I have to say that I am really looking forward to getting back home.  Once there, I will have about 3 weeks before heading back to work- what a fast summer!!
