Chicago - Getting Started

Last night Alexnadra and I got home from a 5 day trip to Chicago with my mom. What a wonderful trip!!! With about 600 photos, I'm not sure where to begin. *grin*
Of course, there is lots to do now that we're home - laundry, unpacking (almost done), etc. So, maybe I'll try to post about 1 day of our trip each day. Or, maybe I'll get caught up this weekend.

I'll just start by saying how surprised I was at how much we enjoyed Chicago. When I was little, we drove through Chicago sometimes and I remember it as being a scary place.

For this trip, we stayed in "the Loop" and mainly visited the museums in that area. It is a gorgeous city! There are flowers and statues everywhere. And, there are lots of friendly people. (We did end up using public transportation, so I didn't have to worry about the traffic.) I can't wait to share our trip with you all! But, for now... good night!
