Dan's mom is in town this weekend. I love having people visit, because it reminds us to be tourists in Oak Park and Chicago. And since the last two days have been gorgeous--mid-70's and blue skies as far as the eye can see--it's been an extra delight.
Dan took Mom to see Frank Lloyd Wright homes yesterday. Today, we took the train in to the city to see the Millennium Park and the Art Institute--and took an impromptu side trip to the Cultural Center along the way.
the world's largest Tiffany dome. . . in my town!
That's Susan and me a little right of center, reflected in the Bean. I have on a red top with my hand up in the air.
This was Susan's favorite building, the pointy roof on the right. There's a wide porch at the top of the building covered by striped fabric awnings that were rippling in the breeze off the lake. Susan and I have decided to purchase the penthouse, and then you can come and visit next summer!
Noon time concert in the park. The band was half-surf rock band and half klezmer band.
Lurie Garden in all of its summer glory.
This building on the northside of the train on the way home. Abandoned industrial building covered in festive graffiti that almost made it look like something was happening there. An urban circus?
