Chicago # 1

We are finally back from our trip to Chicago.  We had a wonderful time.  There are too many pictures to post them all so I'm going to try and post a few from each couple of days to share.


We arrived in Chicago after an early morning flight about 9:30 a.m. and my pen-pal Dani, and her husband, Danny had a wonderful spread of breakfast/brunch prepared for us.  The boys (and I) ate like we had never seen food before and tried a little of everything and then some.


We decided to head down to Navy Pier for a little while before trying to have Maverick take a nap.  For $5 each we rode the carousel and there wasn't even any music.  I was not impressed.  Pullen Park at $1 each is much nicer.  That's Chicago for you....everything is $$$


On Monday we headed to the Children's Museum at Navy Pier and I thought the museum was great.  I did not like the fact that they were "phasing out" reciprocal memberships and we had to pay full price to get in.  It's like the museum thinks it's better than other children's museums and doesn't need to accept other memberships.  Oh well.  We still had a great time.


Brighton tries out stilts.


Maverick loved the baby area equipped with light switches.  Always a favorite.
