One final look at my get-away

Here are more photos from our trip away. I wanted to share the sights with you!


It's a very culturally diverse place. We drove past the Chinese, Greek & Italian sections near downtown. There was actually a Chinese festival that Saturday (but remember we couldn't get a room at the hotel for that extra night).


They had this tribute up at the Chicago Theater.


Here's the fountain at Millenium Park. The park was supposed to open in 2000 (the Millenium) but opened last year (2004). It's a joke in town that the city is always late with stuff they plan.


Here's a sculpture that the locals call "The Bean". It's just south of the fountain in Millenium Park. It's a large piece that is shaped like a lima bean. Can you see the skyline reflection?


Here's a fountain just a short walk from "The Bean". There are actually TWO large rectangular shaped pieces with water cascading down from the top. There's a water retention area that surrounds the two pieces. The kids splash under the cascading water. The parents dip their feet in the retention area.



These are a few art pieces they'v got displayed in Downtown. Can you believe they've placed art amidst all the buildings? It's terrific! That grey piece is a Picasso sculpture.


Here's the skyline as I stood on the jetty. Sears Tower is the tallest building to the left. To the right is Navy Pier.

I was very impressed by everything that I saw. It was a fun place to visit.
