Last Day in Chicago!


Monday Morning, we enjoyed breakfast at a cafe close to our hotel and then headed over for a family picture by the BEAN. We walked through a couple parks enjoying the sunshine and environment!

Checking out the beautiful and big Buckingham Fountain.

Other people enjoying the fountain as well--the size of this fountain just amazes me!

Brad and Lindsey--we were so happy they would come up from Houston to join in the family fun! We are also super excited to watch the new reality TV show that Lindsey and 2 of her sisters will be in that starts on Thursday--Expedition Impossible--it has been fun hearing details about the show and listening to some of the adventures that Team KS faced!

Layne and I by the fountain.

Next we caught a bus and rode to the John Hancock Observatory to see many breath-taking views of Chicago and also enjoyed some yummy drinks.

Here is the Navy Pier from way up high--I still want to ride that ferris wheel--so I guess I will be going back to Chicago sometime to do that--it is still on my bucket list!

Beach, lake, and city

Mom, Dad, Brad, and Lindsey enjoying the views and a drink.

My drink and Layne's plus an awesome view!

We then headed over to Portillo's for lunch for a famous Chicago Hotdog. Before we left for the aiprot we just enjoyed walking around State Street looking at the shops and doing a little shopping!

Thank you Chicago, Mom, Dad, Brad, Lindsey, and Allison for a wonderful adult trip--it was great company and a fun weekend!
And for mom--a pretty good retirement present that we all could enjoy and celebrate!
