We started out the visit by meeting SNMM at the El station and immediately went across the street to Clarke's, a fun diner with a huge range of selections at affordable prices. Fortified, we set off for home for some r&r before we took off for Millenium Park downtown. We checked out the world-famous bean. Can you see us reflected in it as Susan R. takes a picture of us all?
We also visited the water park which includes huge waterwalls that have enormous pictures of faces on them that periodically spit water at all the kids wading around. There were tons of folks down there -- probably due to the mid 90's heat that was hanging on even as late as 6:30. Luckily S&N brought along an extra change of clothing that the kids could slip into before we headed off to Carson's for rib dinner and a piece of tiramisu so big that the whole table shared it with more than enough to go around. (No change of clothese for the big kid in the green shirt, but the ribs more than offset any residual wetness!)
