Chicago Trip - DAY 1

Greetings from the 'not so windy city'! After an early morning flight from LAX, we arrived in Chicago around 1:30 and were to our hotel by around 2:30. We dropped off the luggage and set out to see as much as we could in 1/2 of a day!

We grabbed a quick bite, then walked over to Millennium Park. Very cool sculptures, fountains and general people watching. (NOTE: pictures and video will be uploaded after we get back).
We walked over to Navy Pier and got ticket for an EXTREME jet boat ride on Lake Michigan. Jennie could not stop grinning, and never put her arms down! Jacob had fun, but it did take a bit of getting used to the speed and the spray - oh yea, we got SOAKED!

We then walked over to the Hancock building- 94 stories up and a great view of Chicago.

Tomorrow, Ann's sister Kari and her husband Al are meeting us at the hotel and then we're off to the Science museum.
