We just got home from Chicago last night, so I wasn’t going to do a Tuesday Slice of Life. But I read Katherine Sokolowski’s blog post this morning about her day trip to Chicago, and I decided OK, I can do that! So I made an Animoto video of our weekend in Chi-town. My husband and two older daughters ran the Rock-n-Roll half-marathon on Sunday. I watched with my mother-in-law, my youngest daughter, and two boyfriends. They did great! We had a packed weekend with lots of walking and eating. Enjoy my video!










Wow-I get two views of Chicago. My uncle lived there many years ago so I went often enough then, but not for a long time. So much to do there, & love it being by Lake Michigan, just not in the winter! Thanks-looks like a very good time, Margaret!
I’ve been to Chicago twice, today… without ever leaving home!
Looks you had a great time along with Katherine. Aren’t half-marathons wonderful to watch. I could never run but I love the inspiration!
Thanks for sharing.
So cool to see your experience as well. Looks like you had a wonderful weekend!
Very nice, Margaret! I always like to see how out-of-towners view my birthplace! Louisianans seem to give Chicago high marks from what I have heard for the last 36 years down here.
Thanks.
My daughter loves it there. She may never come home.
Thanks for the tour Margaret. It’s been a long time since I’ve been downtown – maybe Michelle & I’ll have to take the girls down on the train at Christmas.
It’s great to see my city (we live in the northwest ‘burbs) though the eyes of visitors. This movie is awesome – now I want to make one, too!
So glad you had a great time in Chi-town!
Fabulous tour! Now I want to visit Chicago even more than before. So glad you enjoyed your trip.
