The Windy City
Ryan and I took a mini-vacation to Chicago Thur-Monday. We had a good time seeing the sites of the city and catching up with old friends who are in the city--we were able to catch up with four friends who live close to the city. One of our new years resolutions is to try to re-connect with old friends and make some new friends in Iowa!
This is a beautiful view of the city at night that Ryan took--the city lights were beautiful at night:
Here are some photos from our trip (Ryan doesn't like his picture taken, so sorry for all of the photos of just me)!
One of our favorite sites to see was the Science and Industry Museum--they had Christmas trees decorated for several countries--here is the USA tree with White House ornaments--they just opened the new White House exibit which we saw.
Beautiful view of the trees
My two favorite parts of the museum were the real sub and plane--it was an amazing feat to get these into the museum.
The HUGE airplane
Which you could go inside (I hate planes, so my palms were sweating just sitting there :)
Back of the plane
This sub was massive and breathtaking to see up-close
A flag from the US ship that was in the battle
Ryan by the sub
Outside of the sub section they had old posters which displayed the recruitment efforts for the war--if I was alive during that time, I could have worked with parachutes!
They also had a farm section and you could sit inside of a combine!
A dairy cow!
A city scape
Tomorrow I'll share some more photos of our trip!
