day 68 of summer

Day #68:  Wednesday, July 30

Our last day in Chicago.  We finally made a trip to Michigan Avenue {well we had already driven through it on our way back from the zoo}, but now we were walking and taking in the sights.  It was so busy and not really that fun for kiddos, but I knew on this trip that we HAD to see the one and only Garmin store and I really wanted to go to the American Girl store ;).  So down the Magnificent Mile we went.  

First stop, Millennium Park. 

And "the bean".

The kiddos are like...seriously more walking ;)...well you can see how much walking Ellie's doing at this point!

Finally, there it is the one and only Garmin store.

And there is what Ryan actually makes!  GPS for airplanes...if you couldn't tell what it was.

More walking and we arrived at the American Girl store!  Ellie thought it was pretty neat, but I was the one who really loved it ;).  This was her first experience with American girl dolls since we don't own one YET.  Don't worry my plan is talking her into wanting a doll soon...that's why I love having a little girl...to live childhood dreams through :).

The boys spent some time at the Lego store next to it...smart thinking on placement of stores.  Look it's the STARKS!

Then it was back home for us.

A great trip and lots of fun even with all the walking!  Love making memories!
