Family Trip to Chicago - Day 1 & 2

Thursday we drove to Chicago. We left around noon, stopped for lunch and got in around dinner time. The kids handled the drive very well; coloring, listening to music and sleeping most of the ride. They both woke up right when we hit the outskirts of Chicago. Both of them were really excited and especially interested in all of the trains and big buildings.

After we unpacked and settled in a bit we drove to Lincoln Park for dinner and got caught in the rain. We were all soaked by the time we found the car.

Friday I had to work so Miriam took the kids to Navy Pier. They rode the Ferris wheel and went to the Children's Museum, haded back to the room for a short nap and then to the pool. When I returned from work we headed out for Chinese food. The kids got some cool chopsticks to eat with....

After dinner we walked down Michigan Avenue...

and stumbled upon a park...

Check out some more pictures from Thursday and Friday here.
