Here's a picture of Mike waiting for his dinner:
The next morning Mike had to go to the conference so Jeannette took Brownie for a long walk. But first, Brownie had to get caught up on his email:
The view outside of the hotel window was wonderful. The building next door has a rooftop track. Can you see the man running his laps?:
Brownie needed a sip of coffee while he and Jeannette planned their route:
There were all sorts of beautiful buildings to see, Jeannette had a hard time picking what she wanted to photograph:
One of the things Jeannette loves about Chicago is that if you don't like what you see...:
...just look up and everything changes:
Even the big construction equipment follows the rules of the road:
Jeannette visited her friend Andrew while he was at work, he works for the Illinois Senate Republican Caucus as a communications specialist. That's a fancy way of saying he helps our State Senators do their jobs better:
Andrew works in the Thomson Center, it's an amazing building with a huge atrium. Brownie was on the top floor when Jeannette took this picture. The top floor is also where Governor Pat Quinn works when he's in Chicago:
After visiting Andrew Jeannette went for a walk on the riverfront, Brownie is taking a moment to look at the river up close:
Jeannette decided to visit Marina Towers. It's the big corn cob-looking building below. Her grandmother, Mick, used lived there when Jeannette was a little girl:
The little building with the floppy roof is the current home of the Chicago House of Blues. When Jeannette was a little girl she and her sister used to call it the "Pizza Building" because the roof looks like a raw piece of pizza dough:
Jeannette treated herself and Brownie to lunch in the marina restaurant under Marina Towers:
Jeannette took a picture of Brownie while he was looking over the menu. Jeannette had a lobster club sandwich and Brownie had fancy mac and cheese:
When Jeannette began her route back to the hotel she stopped at a Vietnam War Memorial. Your grandpa is a veteran of the Vietnam War, he served in the Navy:
The last stop Jeannette and Brownie made was to a mall with a Lego store. Outside the store are large Lego sculptures of people sitting on benches. Can you see Brownie sitting in the lap of the the man in the blue suit?:
Can you see him in this picture of the Lego lady?:
Jeannette and Mike had a fun time in Chicago. Fortunately Brownie was with them to help record their trip.
