After having a great weekend in Chicago, the kids and I agreed that Chicago is fun but we don't want to live there!!! I could not stand fighting all that traffic or crowds to get to work every day more than anything. Yes, the City is great, it's fun to walk around in, the lake was cool (although I suspect much more fun when it isn't frozen) and there is plenty to do there. However, more than anything, I would NOT want to live in a City with signs like this on the streets......
This was the view from our hotel window, you can see the frozen lake if you look between the buildings....
It was so cold that we only went out walking once, everywhere is covered in frozen snow. This is the walk down to the lake
This sign says something about the beach. Beach???!!!!!
We went to Shedd aquarium on Sunday morning. Unfortunately, it was only 20 degrees and we had to queue for 2 hours to get in. We were absolutely frozen. Maggie and I waited in the building after an hour or so, but Ben and Sam were out in the cold the whole time. This was our view of the skyline while we waited
Ben and Maggie loved skating on this ice that we found in an underpass
Our hotel had a pool, this is it. You can imagine the kids' disgust when they found out that the pool was outside!!!!
