Sweet Home Chicago

Traveling baby gnome...he sleeps while you take posed photos

We spent the day in Chicago, enjoying a gorgeous fall day. Only about 2,576,934 people had the exact same idea that we did...so that makes us creative, right? It's hard to believe, but this was Syed Brian's first trip to Chicago that wasn't punctuated by a trip to the hospital so that made it even more fun. We made the most of it - walking to Millenium Park, ESPN Zone (had to watch the Hawkeyes), Navy Pier, and the Hershey's Store for Reese's peanut butter cup cupcakes (needed additional calories after walking about 8.9 miles). We may be biased, but we think Chicago is absolutely one of the greatest cities - you should visit sometime! Syed Brian will serve as your very own sleeping tour guide...or as a traveling baby gnome which is the purpose he served today as we took posed photos of him at various landmarks.
