We hoped to visit a museum in Chicago but by the time we dropped off the car and found the hotel, we were too late. Instead, we opted to explore two of Chicago's downtown parks. Millennium Park officially opened in 2004. Its more noticeable attractions are outdoor sculptures. Here you see the famous 'coffee bean'. We enjoyed looking at it from all angles. Notice how the skyline is reflected in the first photo. The second photo is a picture of our reflection on the underside of the "bean".
We also wanted to see Grant Park where Barack Obama gave his victory speech in November 2008. My favorite part of this park was Buckingham Fountain. It's much larger than it appears in the photo. All-in-all a nice evening.
