I just love Chicago! Glad you had such a lovely time :)
ReplyDeleteAlways love this, Mary Lee, & I like the ideas for Poetry Month. Looking forward to them all!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I went to Chicago a couple of years ago and did a bit of sightseeing as well. I saw Millennium Park, took some pictures of the fountain, the big bean, and the skyline. I also got a chance to go to Devan Street and see the night view from Lakeshore Drive. Unfortunately, I did not get to see Navy Pier, I think that was the one thing I missed. Still had a good time while I was there though! We only went for a weekend, so I think we still saw quite a bit in three days!
