c.h.i.c.a.g.o.

Earlier this summer, my friend Desha and I went to Chicago to visit my brother and see the city. We found a great deal on a hotel in the heart of Chicago and got to see a lot of the city while still getting to spend some quality time with my brother and sister-in-law. Here are some pictures from our trip.

The ride to Chicago.
Nathan came down to see Momo briefly before we left.
It was really nice having another driver!
Pad Thai

We were located right in Merchant Mart.
Waiting for some Chicago style pizza

Cheesy bread with marinara
Best pizza ever
walking the magnificent mile
outside the aquarium about to see all the neat things at the Field Museum
Beautiful view
lovely sights

Even though we didn't get to see all the art, I bought this cute elephant bank for Grady.

Navy Pier

next time I want to take a boat tour
Lincoln Park Zoo - one of (I think) 3 free zoos in the US!
quite humanlike
big guy
Next time I come, I want to spend more time at the Zoo.
It was way too hot for us to really enjoy seeing all the animals.
We ate pizza again... and it was still just as amazing.
Navy Pier fire works
tons of people, lots of fireworks, and more walking than I've walked in a long time.
pretty
pictures don't do justice
and they don't last long enough either
but it was fun

Such a fun trip!
I'm so glad Desha came with me and got to enjoy some big city life.

Yes, joyful are those who live like this! Joyful indeed are those whose God is the LORD.
