What I want to remember from this trip:
- Walking and taking public transportation rather than relying on a car to go anywhere. This is one of the things I miss most about Boston.
- Exploring Millennium Park — from posing at The Bean to dipping our toes in the stream at the Lurie Garden, it was a wonderful public space within the city.
- Participating in a photo safari in Millennium Park — I learned so much about my camera. (Photos to come later.)
- Moving to the front of the line with the CityPass. (This came in handy at the aquarium and the Willis Tower.)
- Eating deep dish pizza at Gino's East. It tasted so good after a long, hot day.
- Begging one of the cashiers at the zoo for a rubber band so I could put my hair up. It was such a relief to have my hair off my neck. (This sounds silly, but it made a world of difference that day.)
- Finally finding the piece of the Alamo on the Chicago Tribune building.
- Working on my travel journal/scrapbook while I was on the trip.
- Sharing French toast with my mom for breakfast one morning.
- Indulging in Jelly Bellies just because it was vacation.
- Riding the huge Ferris Wheel at Navy Pier.
- Just putting my toes over the edge at the Willis Tower.
What great photos! You're turning into a real photographer - I see a side job in your future. We enjoyed seeing your folks in Bayfield too!
