Let me just say this about Chicago: I love it, want to go back, will go back, want some of my kids to go with me. Sears Tower (I know, it's Willis Tower now but not to me and not, I found out, to a lot of Chicagoans), rides in to the city on the L, those gorgeous buildings (and I forget how many of them Oprah has lived in), speedboat ride on Lake Michigan, bus tour around the city, concert out at Ravinia, strolling on the Navy Pier--what's not to love?
It wasn't windy. The weather was perfect. The Chicago River somehow a reassuring presence. The room at the Embassy Suites spacious and comfy and, thanks to my son-in-law Ben, affordable. People were nice. And I'm just getting started.
Chicago, Chicago, that toddlin' town,
Chicago, Chicago, I'll show you around.
You'll love it . . .
I did love it. I want to go back. I said that already.

maybe you took some pictures that you'd be willing to share?
We lived there for 4 1/2 years and loved it too. Our two oldest kids were born there as well! Wonderful memories.
This is my kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people too
People who, smile at you ... (as sung by Frank Sinatra).
