Chicago

Hello from Frank again.

Just a really quick word on our stay in Chicago.

Contrary to popular thought (or maybe just our good luck), we had really good weather in Chicago. The temperature was a really comfortable zero degrees with almost no wind.

We caught up with one of our WOW buddies and he took us to the big ice hockey game. Unfortunately the Chicago Blackhawks were defeated by St Louis, but it was a great experience. Thank you Pat, Frank and Eric for a wonderful night. If you're wondering, the girls went shopping.....again.

The next day we walked to Millenium Park and the four of us, including Connie, ended up ice skating. Check out photos and video. It was a hoot. After the skating we walked along the lake shoreline to the Aquarium. The lake near the shore was frozen over so Louis and Tessa stood on Lake Michigan!! How cool. The Aquarium was also very interesting with heaps of different displays and fish to see. It was getting late after this so we headed downtown to the John Hancock building where we ate at the Cheesecake Factory and then went up to the observatory on level 94 where we got a fantastic view of the city.

We are in Fort Collins at the moment and will fill you in on our adventures here as soon I get some more spare time. In the meantime, please enjoy the photos of Chicago.
