Finally - a post.

Hey everyone. Well, Tiffany has been out here for the past week. Last monday we got up at 4:00 am and drove to Chicago.... returning to Cincinnati Tuesday at 1:30 am. So, today I am just going to post some pictures from Chicago. Enjoy.

1st stop: Lafayette, Indiana for breakfast - in honor of Aunt Mern & Uncle Randy. :-)

Museum of Science & Industry


The Chicago Fire....the cow kicked over the lantern.


Walking around the city. This is a beautiful fountain - Buckingham Fountain... but it wasn't on. Obviously. :-)

Interesting art. Legs walking.
This is a very cool piece of art called Cloud Gate. It is a kidney bean shaped structure. Made for interesting pictures. I only posted a few.

Underneath it looking up.

Of course we had to go to Sears Tower. The elevator ride actually made me more nervous than the view from the top. :-) I have a phobia since the elevator was overloaded at GBS and was stuck between floors. Was anyone in there too?





We ate lunch here. It is just a restaurant for anyone who would be concerned. They were much more popular in the late 80s and early/mid 90s. I don't think they are "the rage" anymore.
Last stop... .Navy Pier. We walked around. Rode the ferris wheel.

We are smiling because the ride is almost over. I was a bit nervous. Then, Matt was moving around and everything to take pictures. I was a bit petrified yelling at him through clenched teeth to sit still.



Crazy Mirrors.

Tired and ready to head for home.

Cool pics, I love Chicago.

I was on the elevator! I don't really have any terrible phobias due to it though. I was stuck in an elevator for hours in Israel, that's the one I think about every time I'm in an elevator.
