Missed in Chicago 1 & 2

JoJo and the PoPo.  Sounding exactly like a ten-year-old girl (think very high pitched)  I said, "can we take a picture with you?"

My favourite building (architecturally) in Chicago is the skinny blue building.  (The church below is beautiful too).  I looked up the building - it's the Trump Tower!  Boo urns!!

Chicago 2

The windy city lived up to it's name on the first day.  Brrr!

Myself, Jo and my uncle Doug are all in this photo, taking photos.

Tiny public art lady.

We had some fun in Target.

Chicago

I have complete bloggerblock (writer's block?), but I'll still post some photos.  Composing blogs takes energy.  Here are couple of photos from a great little trip to Chicago with Jo, my aunt Linda, uncle Doug and  cousin Jess.  I'll post another photo or three tomorrow.

"The bean" in Millennium Park.  Real name: Cloud Gate.  Wonderful public outdoor art. 

In case you missed the destination.

Happy Jo in the hotel.

Bean Jo.

The Baha'i House of Worship.  My aunt and cousin were in Chicago for a concert (ie. them singing, in this temple).  The concert was amazing!

Jo loves oysters.

Chicago

I was in Chicago this weekend, playing frisbee. Kristin hooked us up with PPF from Waterloo. I had never been to Chicago, and it seems like a really cool city. I would have loved to see more of it. The weather was super nice, somewhere around 25 or 30. Hot. We had a lot of very close games on Saturday, but disappointing went 0-4 on the day. As if that wasn't disappointing enough on it's own, it also meant that we played a pre-quarter at 8:30 in the morning. Had we come top two in our pool, we would have had a 10:30 start. 8:30 start time translated to 5:50 wake up (seriously), so I regretted the 0-4 a lot. The good news in that the team played much better on Sunday, and we ended up fifth. I enjoyed playing and the trip, and also tried to use the weekend to work on a couple of specifics on the field (although I'm sure no one noticed but me). The next tournament, next weekend, is sectionals in Rochester, which is one day. It's just one day, since we just have two teams to play, but the Capitals have six hours of frisbee planned. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the weather is just as nice.

ps. Damn good thing it was nice. The weather network said it would be, but still. Since we were leaving from Waterloo, I had to be able to ride my gear to Thursday practice (including sleeping back and thermarest), so I packed light.
