Yes, that does say Chris Rock...no we didn't see him.

Whew! This has been a travelin' summer. We just returned late, late Wednesday from Chicago. We headed out that direction for Johnpaul's cousin's wedding. Since we were going out that direction anyway we decided to make it into a vacation. Johnpaul did some fancy scheduling at work and we spent a full week in Chicago.

The beautiful view from Museum Park

We bought a Gopass for Chicago. This is a card that allows you into many attractions - so many that you could never do all of them in the time alloted. We did so many things in the week that it would take me forever to describe each one, so I am going to make a list of amazing things we did and saw.

Our reflection in the art at Millennium Park

It was so awesome. We just used the "L" train to get all around Chicago. I can't wait until Boise (hopefully...someday) gets some good public transportation. I would totally use it faithfully. I LOVE public transportation.
