Chicago: Day III, Magnificent Mile, Millennium Park and Buckingham Fountain.
I know I’m a little behind since the last blog, largely because I have been exhausted. Well exhaustion and because I’ve been preoccupied with my family. I’m typing this blog as Me, Maria and Lindsey are driving back from Edmonton to Fort McMurray. I’ll post some pics of Ft. McMurray a little later. (its better than I expected)
So anyway the main purpose of this post is to show the last full day we spent in Chicago. We went to Buckingham Fountian, Millennium Park and Grant Park but most of these pictures will show the two former locations.
Ever since I was 8 and my dad brought me to Buckingham Fountain I also loved going there. I don’t know what it was but I will say that I forgot about Buckingham Fountain and its beauty since leaving Chicago. I’m glad we went to see it and I was also very excited to see Millennium Park for the first time. It was not a disappointment at all and I’m so happy I got to finally see it and the Millennium Bean.
Anyway enjoy the photos and let me know what you think.
