CHICAGO ~ 4TH OF JULY 2011

CHEEZEBORGER

What a beautiful, vibrant city Chicago is!  I just arrived and have already been completely intrigued with this city!  I love how so many people are out and about!

I am looking forward to enjoying Chicago over this 4th of July weekend.  Navy Pier, Segwey Tour, Boat Tours, The Billy Goat Tavern and so much more!  Already I have indulged in the famous "CHEEZEBORGER".  Brought back memories of watching Saturday Night Live!

Preparing to see the city on a Segway and can't wait for that.  The weather is perfect and it is a great break from our Texas heat.  Blue skies and only up in the mid 80's which is a treat!  Have needed jackets in the morning and evenings.

Sometimes having a change of pace is a great thing to do.  These pictures below are from my hotel window!  What an incredible view.  The river and Lake Michigan - unbelievable!  I am excited to see this city and will be reporting in over the weekend.

Hope everyone has a wonderful 4th of July!

Home is where the hearth is.

You have, indeed, arrived for beautiful weather (although it's supposed to be between 95 and 100 tomorrow... hope you're not out frying on a Segway then!).

The Chicago fireworks are usually glorious, although I hear they're cutting back a bit this year (austerity measures by our new Mayor)...  Enjoy... it's a great, great city!

I've never to Chicago. I think it's lots of fun. I'm going to live my next few days vicarously through you....

Hey Alan and Loreena.  Just now getting ready for that Segway tour.  Will take lots of pictures for sure.  Can't wait.  I have only been on a Segway for a very short time so two hours will be phemom!  Hope you both are planning to have a great 4th.  Be safe.

"I listen for a living." It's all about you.

Having started my career in Chicago out of college I can agree with you, Chicago is a great city.  People, food, theatre, museums and mid-west friendliness are all powerful forces.  YOu are lucky you are there now and not during the cold months.  The wind off the lake in the winter will chll you to the bone and beyond.  Enjoy your fourth.

Paula,

Cherise and I absolutely love Chicago, of course, when it's warmer.  Our walks around Lake Michigan were inspired by God.  Hope you continue to indulge in the life of this city... g

I am ready for another Cheezeboyger too!  And, the deep dish pizza is to die for!  I could get really fat here if it weren't for all of the walking!  I will be looking forward to coming back to this town in the future.  Vibrant and fun.
