I'm so jealous! I'd love to see that exhibit! That sounds soo cool.

And I too love Chicago... we've made several trips up there since we moved to StL.

Great pictures. Looks like a blast. I hope my good friend, Elyse(cassiesmom)is seeing these.

The HP exhibit was great fun! It was pretty neat to see the costumes close-up. On the other hand, I could have done without the "life-size" model of the giant spider.

This was my first Chicago trip since I moved back to Illinois (between St. Louis and Springfield, more or less). I definitely intend to visit whenever time and money allow!

Thanks! It was lots of fun. We also got to see a Cubs game and visited the Art Institute. There wasn't nearly enough time to do everything we wanted to do, of course!

My big bro lives in Chitown. The boat tour is very cool with history and architecture.

My brother went to grad school there and still knows all the cool places to eat and drink. And can usually get us free Cubs tickets.

The only place I make an issue about visiting everytime Im there is the Shedd Aquarium.

One more photo--this is a stitched-together version of the photos I took from the women's room near the top of the Hancock Center:

What fabulous pix! The one and only time I was in Chicago was on business and I was sick the entire trip and didn't get to see anything. I still want to go back one day and now I know what I can expect. Thank you!
