Chicago, My Type of Town

We went to Chicago for a week to watch Aunt Sydney and Uncle Joe run the Chicago Marathon. They finished together, and we are so happy that we got to watch them accomplish such a great feat. We loved Chicago and can't wait to go back again. Here is a view from our hotel room.
