Chicago

Change of plans... We were going to head for the upper peninsula of Michigan, but at the last minute, after arriving in MN, we decided to round the Great Lakes to the south.
Aunt Lois drove Jo to meet us this morning - and he didn't want to come! But alas, this city boy is heading back to the city.
Having heard all the Chicago drama on the news lately, all the kids kept asking if we'd get shot. But we didn't. Here's the highlights of our trip.

We drove into the big city with the trailer!

Through the maze of multilevel roads

Past the huge waves of a stormy day on Lake Michigan. 

Seriously, we drove through such tight places

Past wrigley field - no game today -

To Navy Pier

Where the children's museum was having a free entry night

and gave us the perfect place to play 

while waiting for our Chicago-Style DeepDish Pizza 

from Giordano's! 

And we didn't get shot. 

We found parking right in the downtown area. Basically, the spot is where tour buses and whatnot would park for an event at the convention center. There was 24hr security, so we felt safe. But there were also 6 train tracks right behind us, so we also felt quite a few trains go by during the night. Thankfully, that doesn't bother any of us, so it worked out great!
