Despite the heat, we did manage to see some more 'cool' stuff today.
I found that famous sign from the Chicago theatre...
And we also managed to find the Chicago Cloud Gate (or 'the bean' as most people call it) in Millennium Park. It looks like liquid mercury (which I am told it is supposed to look like) and reminds me of "The Terminator" movies - I keep expecting it to morph into some alien creature and run through downtown Chicago. It was pretty amazing and my favourite thing so far.....
The architecture in Chicago is amazing...not sure if New York is going to be able to beat this!!!
After visiting 'the bean'. We went to the family fun fair in Millennium Park. There were lots of activities for the kids to do (all for free - yay!). The girls made kites (which actually DID fly) and started a tower of blocks (which hopefully someone else will finish for us) and saw a flamenco show. Neve was straight out there grabbing the marracas and getting right into it.....
