We wanted to "get away" with the kids this past week for Spring Break, but knew a tropical, beach vacation was not in the budget. We thought since we are only 2 1/2 hours from Chicago that we would venture up on the train and explore this great city. I love, love Chicago and it's beautiful architecture, history, and culture. My love for the city is rubbing off on my girls too.

I actually took this picture from the window at the Field Museum. |

Look at the key pattern detail I spotted on a staircase. |

The windows on the roof of the Field Museum made out of long lasting aluminum and was originally designed to look like a "square wagon wheel". Such detail! |
A view of the John Hancock Building (the far left black building)
On a clear day the views from the John Hancock observation deck is breathtaking,
you can see clear up and down Lake Shore Drive.
Yes, this building does have a piece cut out of it.

Those are fantastic pictures, Andrea! I love city vacations and Chicago looks like a beautiful place. I haven't heard of the The Bean in Millennium Park...got to go look it up! Sounds like you all had a really fun time!
