Chicago 2009

For this year's Independence Day, my family took a lovely 5-6 day vacation to Chicago, IL. It was really fun and I got some pretty decent pictures (which can be seen in my buzznet photo album). Here's a quick recap of my adventures:

 

  • Walked up and down Michigan Avenue for some wonderful window shopping.
  • Stared at the Bean for 30 minutes... who knew a gigantic mirror-y bean could be SO amusing?
  • Ate my way through the Taste of Chicago.
  • MET TARA ASHLEE AND PANSY! It was so fun.
  • Walked up, down, and all around Navy Pier.
  • Watched the spectacular fireworks display on the edge of Chicago.
  • Visited one of my Dad's old best friends. (as an aside, he owns a pretty neato company: http://www.wrapz.biz/)
  • Went to the aquarium, the Field Museum (where I saw and touched the only Pirate treasure ever discovered!!), and the Museum of Science and Industry (where I saw the Harry Potter Exhibit!! zomg. aWesoMe :D)
  • Enjoyed the company of my three best friends (aka sisters) and mommy 

 

Well, that's about as quickly recappish as I can get it. Feel free to look through my pictures and ask what's going on if they're not very well captioned! Here are my favorites:
