Chicago Trip!
Jim took the boys to Chicago for a weekend trip. It took about 4 hours to get there. They first went to the Sears Tower, currently known as the Willis Tower. Jim's brother, David, and nephew, John, met them there. They went on The Ledge, but I don't think any of them were too comfortable with it!
on The Ledge...
After The Ledge, they went to The Bean, which is in Millenium Park. The Bean is a stainless steel sculpture that is famous.
After The Bean they just walked around Millenium Park and down to Grant Park, and along Lake Michigan. They went to David & Cindy's, which is in Wheaton, Illinois. They ate pizza at a Chicago style pizza place in Wheaton. They spent the night with David and Cindy.
Sunday, March 22: They went to the Art Institute.
The Nigerian display.
They went to eat at the Naf Naf grill at Jer's request. He wanted to try Mediterranean food. They all really liked it! They ate shawarma, which is basically a gigantic tube of seasoned steak about 4 feet tall and thinly sliced. They sliced it from the side, and put it on a pita with some hummus and veggies.
Navy Pier was next on the docket. They walked around and ate some fudge. Yum! It was way too cold and windy for the ferris wheel. It was about 20 degrees out!
They drove the Magnificent Mile. They were going to shop at The American Girl Store, but there wasn't any parking. LOL!!! (For those of you not in the know, The American Girl Store is every girl's dream and every boy & dad's nightmare! It is a store full of nothing but American Girl merchandise, which includes books, dolls, clothing for the dolls, & accessories for the dolls.)
