We’re back! Chicago was quite an adventure…from a cranky, sleep-deprived three year old to busses breaking down because of the heat…but we made it and managed to enjoy ourselves at the same time. Here are some pics from our first day…
We dropped off our stuff at our hoteland headed off to the Sears Tower. We must have looked like lost tourists because as we were standing outside our hotel trying to figure out where to go, a very nice man who was headed out of town gave us his bus passes that were still good for another four days. We found the bus stop and we were on our way. We were still a little unsure about where we needed to get off though. We must have looked lost again, because this very nice woman sitting next to me on the bus told us exactly what we needed to do. I asked her another question about the busses. She didn’t know so she asked the stranger sitting next to her who was also very helpful. Very nice people, those Chicagoans.

We had a yummy dinner here. One complaint I have about eating with children in Chicago. Very few places we went had cups for kids with lids. I can’t even tell you how many drinks we spilled. 
After dinner, we headed over to Michigan Avenue to see Garmin’s only retail store. It opened last fall and we heard a lot about it from those who went to the grand opening, so it was fun to see it in person.
