We totally cannot handle 3 huge dogs. We need something smaller...like a guinea pig.
Kelton will eat anything. This premature pumpkin explosion was a perfect morning snack.
Chicago has the coolest alleys throughout the homes. They are clean and well organized. In San Francisco, they are more akin to an outdoor toilet with trash, needles, and nightmares.
Besa is a german shephard Ryan and Ann rescued from a bad owner. She has some anxiety issues, and can hear a pin drop 3 miles away. If she sees a squirrel she'll turn into a cat and climb trees. I'm so glad I got this photo.
Ann-Emergency Vet Hero. Sleepy.
Chicago River from the Red Line Train.
Old tailpipes welded together. Nathaniel is angry because he didn't think of it first.
Lincoln Lover II.
We stopped by the Chicago Stock Exchange and no one was there, so Shannon became the dictator of our relationship.
We went to the Chicago Art Institute and the first exhibit had all these cool minatures. That handrail was actually handcarved. Nathaniel's hand could totally turn into a tornado of destruction.
"Hey...lady...do you think I'll be able to get nachos here?"
"Look. Over there. It's another room with more paintings."
Van Gogh. One ear. Nathaniel. Two ears.
Is Nathaniel really contemplating the shading on the ocean waves? No. He's wondering about the 49ers...and the lack of nachos.
Really cool tower with water falls. Did we mention it was still 80 degrees?
Giant reflective lima bean.
Inside the bean!
More bean!
This is John Handcock Center. It is 13 stories shorter than the Sears Tower...but it has a lounge!
Nathaniel enjoys his beverage and really wants the bald guy next to him to keep his eyes on the view...not his wife. This photo was luckily taken when he wasn't leering.
The view from the ladies bathroom.
For our 3rd night in Chicago, we decided to give Ryan and Ann their bed back and booked a room at a cute little modern Bed & Breakfast. We checked in late and we couldn't access our room cause another tenant locked an intermediate door. Pissed off, we called the owner and he apologized and gave us the door code to a giant 2 bedroom party zone room for the same price. We won.
So much space in the city. Too bad our day was exhausting; we could totally play tag.
