Chicago


While booking my plane ticket home from Texas, Southwest was having a special to Chicago. Well my friend Mark lives there and I had wanted to go visit him and see the city, so I headed up to Illinois (another first for me) and after Mark patiently waited through 2 hours of traffic we were finally reunited.

We were able to go to the city of course we made our way to the famous bean which is cooler than I ever thought a bean could be, we walked down to navy pier, saw the skyscrapers, listened to street drumers, and of course ate traditional Chicago Deep Dish at Uno's!




As a special treat look what we found as part of the city art on display - a metal moose or an "urban" moose as I refer to some up North. What better way to end my season from Alaska! Thanks Mark for being a great host - and for watching all those crazy Hero's episodes late into the night, I can't wait to see you again!

Woot woot.... Chicago is wonderful! Especially when you are here to enjoy it with me. We'll just have to have our adventures either in SLC or I will come visit you wherever you are.
