We actually became tourists in our own town, and it turned into quite the Sunday afternoon.
We went over to Buckingham but we parked a few blocks away so on the walk over we decided to stop at The Bean in Millennium Park.
Pax got a glance...
We took a family pic, and then one a little closer...
I high-fived myself a couple times...
Dad and I rocked a sidewalk shot and then I took the old selfie.
As we passed by the Art Museum we made a couple wishes in the wishing well. I could tell you what I wished for, but it's classified, so then I'd have to kill you, which would not be cool.
And then after a couple block we came upon Old Glory, Buckingham Fountain holds a special place in our hearts as we used to bike ride up to it almost every night during the nice weather when we lived in the South Loop, pre-Pax. We'd stop for ice cream, run around it, whatever, didn't matter, it was just a destination and it's one of the most special places we hold close in this great city.
After that it was party time back in the Millennium Park Face Fountains. Water was cold but nobody cared.
And that was that. A few hours post-Pax-nap, pre-dinner, where we took in the sights and sounds of the Lakefront. And whether you live in this blessed town or not, it's worth a visit.
