Adam and I met our friends Josh and Mara Halverson in Chicago. It was the only thing interesting that is approximately halfway between Minnesota and Ohio. Both families dumped the children off on grandparents. We had a wonderful time, even though it was pretty chilly.
These pictures were taken at Millenium Park.
Later we went to lunch and the cafe and had the most delicious (and fancy) cheeseburgers that we have had in a very long time.
We had very grand plans, but as we started to sightsee, we ended up taking much longer than expected. We spent half a day at the Art Institute. We saw real Monets (which are much prettier than posters.)
Adam as Van Gogh
Pointilism. We had no idea this picture was so big in real life.

Grandma Duffy has a similar sculpture (replica) in her living room.
Ancient statues
Can you read between the lions?
I loved the mid century stuff.
Do you see the arm? Mr. Josh was completing the statue.
