They've got flat land all around, BUT they've made their own mountains..the hundreds of skyscrapers! Just amazing. And Lake Michigan is like the ocean it's so large. Very nice weather the week we were there. Friend Jim Robert acted as our tour guide, and we never got lost like when I drive in a new place. Jack got a lot of free rides with the wheel chair. Two ball parks: Wrigley Field home of Chicago Cubs and second oldest park in US; and US Cellular home of White Sox. Went aboard a German Sub in the Museum of Science and Industry. Huge room of working electric trains; really astounding.
We were set to go up in famous Sears Tower, but the waiting line was two hours long. Forget it!! That's a picture of it with the two white towers on top of it in the water cruise picture. That picture of the ornate water tower in downtown Chicago is a famous landmark - it survived the famous Chicago fire.

What gorgeous pics of the skyline! Looks like a fun trip. Don't you want to come visit DC again? :) We could do gettysburg or something. loves! Mary
The architecture of that tower is incredible! How fun to go to Wrigley field, I think it's one of the prettiest ball parks with all of the brick and ivy.
