Chicago, continued

The rest of the weekend in Chicago was fabulous! On Friday, Olson and I were tourists while Keith was in meetings...
We visited Millennium Park...
Where Olson was intrigued by "the bean"

He liked looking at our reflection
Especially close up!
We enjoyed Grant Park and the beautiful fountain

The Art Institute also had a pretty fountain!

 You also never know what you will see in Chicago. While on our trek we saw:
Going to her Quinceanera, perhaps?
Wedding party having photos taken on Michigan Ave
A gigantic Marilyn Monroe
Saturday began with breakfast with one of my friends, Kristen. Olson loved her, and it was great to catch up!
Great way to start the day!

 Next stop...Wrigley Field! But first we had to get there...
Olson helped Dad navigate
Wrigley! And no, the score did not improve
Olson's second ballgame!
He had to bust out his Cardinals hat

After the game, we headed back down to the lakefront.
Drinks on the beach

O seems to be growing tired of all the activity

Sunday morning we took one more family stroll around the city.
Family by the lake--too bad O's eyes are closed

 All that sightseeing tires a guy out, and Olson took full advantage of our plush hotel.
Hanging out on the comfy bed, enjoying a bottle
Relaxing in the tub

What a fun weekend! Chicago is fantastic, and I hope we can return when O is older!
Whew, that was exhausting!
