Abraham Lincoln Historic Home 
Nice free tour of Lincoln’s historically accurate house Haha lots of fake food in the kitchen Whole neighborhood has been recreated as a historic preservation site The old Illinois State capitol I guess they are doing some roof work Knock knock anyone in there? Current Illinois State Capitol Lincoln grave site and monument Picturesque farm Looks like a hot air balloon festival or something We saw tons of windmills while driving toward Chicago They all had lights blinking in sync Looked like an alien invasion or something Library in Naperville (Chicago suburb) was really nice All of Naperville was nice, but also very crowded and busy Got the best table at the library this time Found a cool conveyor belt sushi place Not a huge fan of sushi myself but willing to try it Another day, another trip to the library Grocery shopping in an Amazon Fresh store Automatic cart added items as we shopped and then we just walked out Another park for making dinner Sauteed chicken and veggies with rice Decided to try another nice library in Naperville We ate breakfast at a place right on a small airstrip

Taking a train into the city View from the “L” Haha Chicago’s biggest attraction is just a shiny bean Actually pretty cool in person Very interesting reflections directly under the bean Buckingham fountain Great view of the city skyline Chicago harbor and marina on Lake Michigan On to the river walk now Very nice city walkway Famous bridges along the river Wishing the bridges would open We sat here and relaxed for a while Watching the planes, trains, boats, trucks, cars, and walkers go by, everyone is in such a rush Not a bad picture of us in the city Lots of tour boats going up and down the river Heading to dinner now, back along the riverwalk Original Chicago Uno’s Pizzeria Birthplace of deepdish pizza I thought it tasted really good Back to the “L” Leaving the city Had the whole train car to ourselves at one point
