CHICAGO

We got back from Chicago this week so I'm posting some of our pictures here. The rest are on facebook =)


We rented this bicycle for an hour and it was embarrassing! There were no gears so we were going sooo slow! The joggers were passing us!! Fun anyway

We spent a few days at Navy Pier which was lots of fun! There are a bunch of rides and mini golf along with boat rides, a really pretty garden, FOOD and fun =)




We took a pirate boat tour from navy pier too. It was a lot of fun!

We went to a museum that was having a Harry Potter exhibit with artifacts from the movie. This is the flying car. You couldn't take pictures inside the exhibit, but it was super cool! They had everyone's wand and costumes and even the moving pictures that you see on the walls at Hogwarts. Super cool!


This is Buckingham Fountain. It was really pretty!



We made two trips to the Ghirardelli shop for ice cream! It was amazing!!


Field Museum! This is Sue, the most complete TRex fossil ever discovered!



Legend has it, if you get married in this church behind us, you will never get divorced! There is a crazy long waiting list.



We didn't take any pictures at the Art Institute except this one- an example of the Miniatures. They had about 30 of these little rooms with real furniture and decorations. Some were really elaborate. It made me want a doll house!

These are a few pictures from the aquarium. It was really neat! They had small animals like turtles and pirhanas and big animals like beluga whales and dolphins.





We had a realllyyyyy fun time! It was nice to get away from our usual routine and go somewhere together. We havent really had a trip since we've been married except our honeymoon and we really want to start travelling more. I'm excited to cash in the rest of our frequent flyer miles!
