Recently our family decided to take a day trip to Chicago. It has been years since our family has been to Chicago (we used to live in one of it's suburbs)! Our dad, native of Chicago, took us for a tour of the "town".
Sears (Willis) Tower
The Crystal Gardens at Navy Pier were really neat...
We convinced our parents that a ferris wheel ride would be in everyone's best interest : )
The John Hancock building overlooking Lake Michigan.
What? Ok, so I like obscure photography...
Dad, Mom, Beth, and Sarah in the other car.
I thought the sun coming through the ferris wheel would make a good picture...others just laughed.
We had fun at Navy Pier, and thankfully nobody went overboard!

Just before we left, Phil and I went for a ride on the chair glide.
As we headed into the city I saw this restaurant called, Yolk. I took a look through the window at the menu, and everything on the menu had to do with eggs! Egg salad, scrambled eggs, deviled eggs, fried eggs....you get the idea.
..."The Magnificent Mile".
I kinda got separated from the family while I was taking pictures. When I stopped to get my bearings, I looked up and saw this...the Mac store! Home, sweet home!
The place was massive! It had this big, glass staircase going up to the second level of the building which housed their conference room and genius bar.
I came out of the Mac store, and right across the street was the Chicago water tower. This is one of the very few buildings that survived the great Chicago fire of 1871.
You find some strange people in Chicago...
...so strange that I thought this guy was a manikin! I almost went over there and poked him, but he turned and looked at me so I decided not to. : P
Don't ask me what this is, I just took a picture of it.
After walking downtown for a while we went shopping in Water Tower Place. It was the first time I have ever been in a vertical mall. The place had about 10 levels with different stores on each level.

Sounds like a fun trip! It was so sad to see the "Hollandsworth kids" pic minus me! Oh well...life must go on... :)
You should've tried the "Yolk" restaurant. It sounds quite unique!
Love ya!
So Josh, my question is this: would you be tempted to shoot a "B-B" gun had you had it on the top of the Ferris Wheel? That's a bunch of glass! Great Pics!
