The Bean Family Go to Chicago

Justeen had to go to a conference. So, the whole family got on a plane and went to Chicago. While Justeen was hobnobbing, the little bean and I wandered the streets of Chi-town, looking for fun. We came across a number of things - Halloween festivals, stunning architecture, crowded sidewalks - all things that kept us occupied.

Here's the bean in his sweet ride, waiting for a sweet tour.


When Justeen was finished, she joined us in our wanderings. Here they are in Millennium Park - a wonderful display of open space and art in the middle of the city.


But, as traveling is always exhausting, it often takes a toll on you. The day we left, we decided to go to the Chicago history museum. Even before we arrived, Elliot decided he was done. He tipped forward in such a way that was temporarily irreversible. For about an hour, we walked around the city with what appeared to be a dead baby.
