Trains

Big train layout

On Sunday Liz and I also went to the Museum of Science and Industry http://www.msichicago.org they had lots of cool exhibits.  One was this train layout.  Liz took 9 pictures, which I used to create this mosaic.

Something different in Chicago

Robie House
Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio


Hi All,

Sunday we rented a car and visited two of the several homes Frank Lloyd Wright designed in the Chicago area.  He was born just north of Chicago in Wisconsin.  He was a very interesting person.

The first place was his home and studio:

The Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio in Oak Park, Illinois:

Next was the Robie house – it looked like it was built 10 years ago – but it’s a hundred years ago – very cool!!

It was a very cool day!!

Dinner at Cite, a top Lake Point Tower.  70 stories up right next to the Navy Pier.  The view was spectacular, and so was the food!!

Hi All,

We arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon.  Today we did a little sightseeing, we walked up Michigan Ave stoping at the Apple store.  Jumped into a cab to the Shedd Aquarium.  We got there, but did not go inside - the line was 90 minutes long.  We walked around the outside of it to see this view!! 

Dinner tonight at the top of some big building. :-)



Everything is up here. John Hancock

We are in Chicago - Guess where I went?
