Travel Squirrel Takes on Chicago!

Remember when I introduced you to my travel squirrel?  Well, of course, I had to take him along to Chicago so he could help me document the trip.  Also Scott was expecting pics.  I think the squirrel rather enjoyed himself. At least I hope so.


We had to be at the Amtrak Station bright and early on Thursday to catch our train to Chicago.

Our journey started at 6:40 am when the Amtrak left St. Louis.

 

We were pretty famished after our train ride so we grabbed some Chicago-style deep dish pizza. Who could pass that up in Chicago? It was delicious.

 

 

After dinner, we walked around town a while and saw the old Water Tower that survived the Great Chicago Fire. It was gorgeous at night.

 

 

The next day was a sight-seeing day!

 

 



 

We had to go see The Bean. 

 

 

And the squirrel wanted a reflection picture too.

 

 

Unfortunately, the squirrel was pooped out and needed to rest in the hotel room for the rest of the trip. Luckily though, I took several more pictures to document.
