Chicago Day 2

We began again with a lovely breakfast at corner bakery!
Followed by morning tea on a stroll through Millennium Park.
The sculpture is by far the strangest thing I've ever seen hanging in a public park.
This piece or art work has a twin facing her on the other side of the area.
Our stroll through Millennium Park left us with time for our walk past the Art Museum on our way back to Union Station.
We wondered around Union Station for a bit looking for a place to purchase our tickets for the train ride to Naperville where our new car was awaiting us!
We finally got out tickets and headed to find a Chicago Style Hot Dog for lunch.
We found Gold Coast Dogs in Union Station.  I am NOT a fan of the Chicago Style Hot Dog.
We rode train on the upper level to our destination.  Hubby and I have a real conversation with each other without any interruptions and just connect!  It was wonderful!
Once we arrived at our stop, we called a cab to take us to the car from the train stop!  
We had or new car then and we were driving back into the city thanks to priceline for the awesome deal on our hotel!
We paid an insane amount to have our car parked over night and walked toward the museums.  
They were closing for the day by the time we got there, so we grabbed another cab back to the hotel.  
We received a great recommendation for dinner at Ben Pao!
Wine with dinner lead to the inability to say no to dessert!
After dinner we walked down to Navy Pier again for some Garrett's Chicago Mix Popcorn!
We stopped in for a drink at Harry Carey's Tavern!
We had a bit more fun at Navy Pier before calling it a night!

I am loving the photos!! Looks like you guys had a blast! Becky Abernathy lives out there and is trying to get us to come, just so hard with our little one! Would you recommend taking our son or a solo trip!?

We talked about taking our boys out again. They would love the aquarium and there is a children's museum at Navy Pier, but I'm not ready to tote 2 4yos all over the city! But I bet you'd do fine with one little guy! :)
