Second trip to Chicago

After we met Ji's brother in Chicago last November we decided to take Mia there for a second time to meet with Christian and Beth who were visting this weekend.
This time we didn't stay in the suburbs but in a nice hotel downtown. One of the nice features was the pool on the 19'th floor. Since Mia enjoys water we too her there for a morning swim




For lunch we met Christian at a Cajun joint at the Chicago river

Mia was not very interested in the red beans and rice though but she had a bite of Ji's catfish poboy

She had more fun later that day in the Millenium park. There was a reflecting sculpture

A nice square to push her stroller around

There was also a very nice water installation which is a big hit for kids:


The next morning we took her to a nice playground reight next to the Hancock tower.


Then it was lunch again with Christian - this time in a beer garden on top of the Rock Bottom brew pub
Later Mia relaxed with some shoe shopping at Nordstrom. After that we met Beth, Tore and Christian for some cocktails at the 96'th floor lounge at the Hancock tower - for Mia it was just water.

The next day at the airport before we flew back Mia helped out with one of the electric carts
