CHICAGO! We made it to downtown Chicago.

Cloud Gate (see description at the end of this post)

Underneath the Cloud Gate

The city of Chicago reflected in the Cloud Gate

Nate loved seeing himself in the Bean!

Mommy and Me with the Bean.

These boots were made for walking and that's just what I'll do...

Are you ready boots? Start walkin'!

I'm going to get that kid! AH!

Me and the Bean

Look at me!

On Monday August 3rd, we went into Chicago. We parked underground in the Millennium Parking lot...when we walked up to ground level we came out at the Millennium Park. We went to see the Cloud Gate (otherwise known as The Bean).

An excerpt from the Millennium Park says:
"Cloud Gate is British artist Anish Kapoor's first public outdoor work installed in the United States. The 110-ton elliptical sculpture is forged of a seamless series of highly polished stainless steel plates, which reflect the city's famous skyline and the clouds above. A 12-foot-high arch provides a "gate" to the concave chamber beneath the sculpture, inviting visitors to touch its mirror-like surface and see their image reflected back from a variety of perspectives.

Inspired by liquid mercury, the sculpture is among the largest of its kind in the world, measuring 66-feet long by 33-feet high. Cloud Gate sits upon the At&T Plaza, which was made possible by a gift from AT&T."

We had a blast at the Bean!
