Mama and Chase brought Sam, Sylvester, and Tyler over to Nanaw's house on Wednesday morning for their sleepover with Nanaw while Mama, Daddy, and Chase go to Chicago for a major sightseeing tour. They'd been there earlier in the year for a hockey tournament and wanted to go back because Chase had heard about the Bean but didn't get to see it. (The Bean -- its official name is Cloud Gate -- is one of the largest outdoor structures and weighs 110 tons. Its mirror-like surface reflects people, trees, lights, sky, and everything around it. It's shaped like a kidney bean, hence the nickname The Bean.) Here's what Mama said: "When we got to Chicago our room wasn’t ready. We left our stuff with the valet and walked around a bit. We went to Sugar Factory- Chase got a lot of jelly bellies and I got chocolate-covered almonds. After we got our stuff in the room and chilled, we went to the hotel lobby for happy hour - the lobby is on 6!?! Chase had 2 breadsticks. (They had soup, salad, chips, and cheese) Then we walked to Navy Pier. Chase had cheese fries, and Will and I had burgers - all very good. We walked back (about a 25-minute walk each way), then went to the pool around 8:30. It was cold so I didn’t swim long. Chase and Will swam for about 30 minutes." The fourth picture below is of the view of Chicago from their hotel room that Chase took and sent to Nanaw.
