Fri July 3rd

We drove up to Chicago today. It's a 3 hour and and 10 min drive but it took us 4 because of stops. Link was not loving the drive. But we were foolish, we started driving after he took his first nap at home. Very silly choice. But we did make it alive with no speeding tickets. 
We're headed into the city! 

Our hotel was right down town. Right down the street was Millennium Park which was really cool.
My favorite was the giant bean. It really was amazing seeing the city reflected in the metal. 
Cool fountain at the park. We got a rare pic with all of us. 
We had a run around break on thegrass. The kids needed it after the long drive. 
There was this great outside theater where they were having an Orchestra concert. The girls started dancing to the music. Sister fun :)
Then we went back to the hotel and had the pizza of Nick's dreams. The sauce was on the top and the middle was filled with real mozzarella cheese and toppings. It was all baked on a thin pie like crust. It was definitely the best pizza pie I've ever had. 

To save money we only got one bed in the hotel room. It was a very very small hotel room. I guess that's what we get for staying in the downtown part of the city. Expensive and tiny. Oh don't you love the city. I think this trip will cure any future desire of Ella or anyone else to live in the city.
