touring chicago

mom & i spent a day downtown last week. my dad was working second shift, so we rode into the city with him and spent the day being tourists. we took part of a double-decker bus tour, had lunch on the 95th floor of the hancock building and ice cream at ghirardelli. then we ambled our way south on michigan avenue to millennium park - our first time there since its completion. so, of course, taking pictures of/in 'the bean' was necessary. the night photo is part of the crown fountain at millenium. water pours down the sides of two glass-brick towers and occasionally shoots out fire-hose style.

a fantastic day.
