Chicago - da "Bean"

We bribed, bullied, and begged the kids to walk from the Aquarium to the "Bean" - officially known as the Cloudgate sculpture in Millenium Park.  Then as we got closer, we played "who will be the first to spot the bean!"  It was a bit funny how long it took the kids to notice the ginormous silver jellybean!

As you probably guessed, I am splitting our trip into separate posts because once again I took too many pictures.  And the amazing reflections created by the bean... I could stand there all day and take pictures!

Buckingham Fountain isn't as impressive without the water!

This one just makes me smile.  I love his stance.

Off to Starbucks for some hot chocolate, mochas, and yummy treats!
