chi-town trip

the mini-vacation was good. of course, we couldn't do everything that we wanted in two days, and because of some very bad directions ended up walking about 10 miles to a restaurant (after that, we didn't feel like walking anymore, so didn't get to go to the aquarium. so sad.), which is a very long and probably boring story, so i won't waste your time.

being in chicago makes dc look so... short.

yes, the midwest has beaches! here are are looking at lake michigan, for as far as the eye can see.
