We packed in the fun today! So much to see, so little time and so far to walk!!!!! We rocked this day and I have A LOT of pictures to document our movement. I have to send a shout out to Lincoln and Megan today, they have the shortest legs and were the best walkers in the bunch! We figured we walked at least 7 miles in all, and Lincoln walked almost every step. For a 3 yr old that is a pretty big accomplishment. We started out at Millennium Park, then we walked over to "the bean," then we went on over to the spitting face fountains. I think they are really called Crown fountains. Then we hiked over to Buckingham fountain. Next stop...picnic in the park, lucky enough to enjoy the orchestra that was practicing. Back to the pavement, we walked over to Navy Pier next, took a small detour, but made it. We rode the ferris wheel, (or steering wheel as Lincoln called it,) then we got on a water taxi and went to the Sears/Willis tower and took the elevator to the top. We finally made it back to the cars and our brave drivers (Janet and Galen,) battled traffic all the way to Giordono's pizza. We got it to go, so we could kick our tired feet up and rest. SO SO DELICIOUS!!! What a super fun day, note to self for next time. I want to get a bike and ride around the city, or a segway, oh and a free skip the lines pass. I guess I just need to call Donald Trump and ask him to let me borrow his limo and driver.
