Chicago

We went to Chicago last week since Stuart had a neuroscience conference there and loved it! We loved the architecture and were impressed how clean and well-manicured the streets were. It's a great city and they have an excellent art collection at the Chicago Institute.


My good friend Megan. We met up with her and her husband since they live in Michigan. Megan took me to Hershey's where we had....
....this. It's a cupcake that's as big as Charlotte's head.
Old water tower before the fire.

The original painting is in the Chicago Institute of Art and very small.


Classic Chicago deep dish with Megan and Chris.

Chicago Zoo



Millennium Park

The "bean"


Excellent sundae at Ghirardelli's - who wouldn't want this?

Fannie May...after losing everything in the market they've resulted to making chocolates:)
