Shawn woke me up this morning with breakfast and coffee ready and waiting for me :) It would have been perfect had it not been so early (although he will claim it wasn't early and I will agree that for MOST PEOPLE 930am is not early). After breakfast we decided to spend the day downtown. It was so beautiful out we couldn't resist. Shawn wanted to see Buckingham Fountain again, so we headed out on the train. Here are a few highlights from the day.
Shawn playing in the water like a kid again!
Interesting sculpture garden. There were three of these tallk metal "flowers". I thought it was really interesting!
There was some kind of Polish festival going on, including a parade. This was a tribute to the Polish President that just passed away recently in that terrible plane crash. The parade was totally blocking the street though!
We found this great shot while we were wandering around trying to figure out how to get across to the street to Buckingham Fountain without crossing the parade route. Difficult task indeed.
We made it! Yay!
My favorite building...it's just before you get to Navy Pier. I think it looks like a giant flask!
Lunch at Harry Caray's Tavern on the Pier. Yummy.
It was a good day. We had dinner at Dad's (delicious steaks on the grill and tater tots!) before the Hawk's game. The Hawk's game was quite a disappointment though. Vancouver completely dominated us! Oh well...it is only game 1 of the series. We'll get 'em Monday!
