My parents are visiting us and that gave us the great opportunity for Cameron and I to take a quick trip to Chicago by ourselves and leave the girls behind with them. It was great! Our friend Carol opened her beautiful house and received us as guests. She was also our tour guide. One thing that she told me on the phone as we were planning our trip was "bring your walking shoes" and she was right. Cameron calculated that we walked about 8 miles downtown Chicago.
We took the early express train to downtown Chicago. Here we are at the Union Station:
We had a delicious breakfast at Lou Mitchell's. The food and service were excellent. We were greeted by free donut holes and small boxes of Milk Duds.
This is a great view of the Buckingham Fountain and the Lake Michigan:

One of the highlights of our trip was the official Chicago Architecture Foundation river cruise. It was amazing, interesting and fun. We loved it!
One of our requests was to have deep dish pizza. We went to Pizzeria Due and the pizza was very good. Here I am with Carol.
Thanks Carol! We had a wonderful time!
