Chicago ~ Day 1

We had a spectacular day (10/5) as we headed into Chicago! What a view! Nicolas talked us into taking a Segway Tour of the city. Boy, they were a blast! You've got to try a Segway if you ever get a chance! They are really fun and easy to do! Nicolas had been on one before, so he was a pro and fearless! We all had such a great time! What a day!

After the Segways, we walked around Millennium Park and saw so many cool things! We even got to see Robert DeNiro filming a movie in the park! We really fell in love with Chicago! We ended the evening with dinner in "Greek Town" at a restaurant called "Santorini". It was fabulous! The perfect ending to a perfect day!

This was so cool! These giant faces
were like a video and they moved
and even spit water!

This was our view from the restaurant!
