Day 25--Chicago: the windy city.
We took the train into Chicago where we saw the Sears Tower, now known as the Willis Tower. Then we walked to the Planetarium, which we did not go into, but we could see the whole Chicago skyline from there. Then, we walked all the way around to Navy Pier...very long walk. We didn't understand the point of Navy Pier, but we did sit out there and watch the boats and lighthouses for a while. We walked to Garretts, which is an awesome popcorn place. Ark bought Lew a birthday treat of MacadamiaNutCaramel Popcorn. It was awesome...Thanks, Ark.
We rode the train back and had dinner at the Macaroni Grill with Abby and Josh. We had fun drawing pirates on the table cloth. We also were brought two huge brownies for Abby's and Lew's birthday, but unfortunately, the waiter refused to sing to us. Thanks for dinner, Josh and Abby, and for your wonderful hospitality of letting us stay with you.
Next up: Lew's old stompin' grounds--Minneapolis, MN
Been catching up a little on your trip! It took me a little while to realize (you know, read your profile) that "Ark" and "Lew" were you two. DUH!

We were glad to have you! Hopefully this is not the end of your adventures together.
