Mommy and Daddy's trip to Chicago

by Madison and Luke

We had a really good time last week visiting Grandma and Grandpa while Mommy and Daddy were in Chicago. Even though Daddy had to be at the medical convention a lot, they still were able to do some sightseeing.


Here is Daddy's poster at the medical convention. He was one of 50 people selected to present his poster, and it looked really good. It was all based on a medical case he had during one of his clinics last year. And yes, his poster is really big. The Army had to spend over $400 to print it.



Mommy and Daddy had fun on an architectural sightseeing tour of Chicago. In the background is the Sears Tower, now the tallest building in the U.S.

Mommy and Daddy found the fountain their last day in Chicago. After the convention, they decided to walk the 3-4 miles back to their hotel through a huge park. It was a beautiful day, around 85 (okay, too hot for Chicago), and on their walk, they came across this.

Chicago with Soldier Field (where the Chicago Bears play). The convention center was just down from Soldier Field.

We're glad Mommy and Daddy had so much fun, but we're happy to have them home. They had a great view of the city from their 24th floor hotel room, and Mommy brought home a few things she found while shopping on Michigan Ave.
