So after having been only an hour away for going on two months, I finally got to go to Chicago. Logan and I took the train from Portage and rode into Chicago. I was pretty nervous since neither of us have any sense of direction but we did surprisingly well. When trying to decide what we wanted to do on our day in Chicago, we decided on Chinatown. We'd been to Navy Pier when we came on a family vacation and wanted to try something new. We mapped it out and found out it was only about a two mile walk from the train station so we set off on foot and walked all the way there. Logan did make the comment "I've been laying on the couch for two months, I'm not up for this!" but we trekked on. When we started to get close, we started to wonder if walking was such a good idea. A woman who appeared to be on some kind of drug pulled down her pants and told us we were "on the south side" with a 'specific demographic' as we walked by. But thankfully at that point, Chinatown was in view and we didn't have much further to go.
We made sure to get some Chinese food while we were in Chinatown. It was really pretty good and we were disappointed that we couldn't take our leftovers home with us.
On our way back from Chinatown, we walked a different way which felt much safer. :) But we crossed back to Michigan Ave and walked through the parks. Here's Logan comparing his legs. I think the sculptures win.
I've been working out....
I always knew he was pretty fierce.
I can't remember what this thing was called but you can see us in the middle...we were standing only a few feet away when we took this picture. Pretty cool!
This guy was performing on the sidewalk...He thought he was a lot cooler than he really was. He later got into the box and Logan suggested that we grabbed his tip bucket and ran...we didn't...
Here we are at the end of our day. It was cut a little short because it started raining on us. We got pretty wet because, of course, I'd taken my umbrella out of my purse. It was a fun day though and we were tired so we hopped back on the train and came home.
