 The Magnificent Mile

 Ava will love this fire station :)  Looks like a castle!

 Sunset out the hotel window :)

 We had a corner room, so this is the OTHER side of the bedroom view :)

 The most incredible Catholic Church.. where the cardinal resides

 On the boat tour..

 My smokin' suited husband at 6 am the morning of boards!  ;);)

 The Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art

 a lot of the exhibits had us saying "it's art because they say it's art" :)
