We didn't really get to take a family vacation this past summer. Terry traveled a lot and school was fast approaching, so we took a long weekend and went to Chicago. We walked A LOT. Meghan and Andrew are sitting on a bronze sculpture of Bob Newhart's couch from his sitcom as a psychologist. They didn't want to do this but I made them. They have no idea who Bob Newhart is.
We spent an afternoon on the Navy Pier. We went up on an enormous ferris wheel. I was quite scared of the height, but I survived. It was a fixed seat affair, no swinging and went very slowly so people could get on and off without stopping the ferris wheel.
This man is made entirely of Legos. There is a bird on his head and an egg broken on his shoulder.
Very cool sculpture. Chicago has a lot of public sculptures on the street. While in Chicago, we went to a lot of good restaurants. We visited the Field Museum of natural history. That was a lot of fun. They had an exhibit where you got to feel as if you were shrunk down to the size of an ant.
This is a sculpture called simply The Bean. I guess Chicagoans don't care for the Bean. We thought it was pretty cool. Andrew is the kid in the lime green shirt.
You can see Andrew's reflection in the side of the Bean.
This is all 4 of us in the Bean.
We caught a free outdoor concert after dinner one night.
We went to the American Girl store for Meghan and she got a doll. Then we went to Andrew's favorite place, Legoland. Albert Einstein is made entirely of Legos. The city shot is also entirely of Legos. It was a pretty impressive place. There were dozens of life-size sculpture from legos and lots of things for kids to do. Andrew got a special lego only available there. They had a cafe and an indoor carnival ride through an adventure created with, yes, legos. That's a lot of building.
