Hello...from the "Windy City"

Mattie catching a ride on the cooler. She rode it all the way to the ice machine and back. We brought a cooler with us to keep some milk and juice cold for Mattie.. (We have a little microwave and fridge..but it doesn't hold much)..plus a few other items: 2 lbs. Boar's Head Turkey, 2 lbs. Boar's Head Ham, cheese slices, 4 loaves of bread, tortillas, mustard, mayonaise, tomatoes, Pringles, dill pickles, Wickle pickles, diet coke, bottled water..we thought we could save a little money by eating the free hot breakfast here at the hotel..sandwiches for lunch and then enjoying dinner out. Oh..last night they had a {free reception} from 5:30p-7:00p..they had tacos, fruit, chips and salsas, cheese and crackers, etc. and free drinks. So we took advantage and just ate here for dinner.



We visited the Sears Tower today..I took this from the 103rd floor. We had to keep swallowing in the elevator..otherwise our ears would pop..we gave Mattie juice to drink. It took us less than one minute to reach the 103rd floor.

I took these on our way to eat pizza at Gino's East.

More of the Chicago Riverwalk.

Lake Michigan. I popped my head out of the sunroof for this one.

We also visited {The Navy Pier}..very cool!

We paid $8.25 for 3 churros..we asked if they were fresh..they said, "Yes" but they were old..yuck!

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co.

I had to take a picture..this just made me laugh!

Ryba's Fudge Shop.

It is 11:23p..I was going to scrapbook a little {yes..I brought scrapbooking supplies}..but I am getting sleepy and Rich has the A/C on 67..so I am bundled up under the covers right now and I don't want to get up..Brrrrrrr!
