25 or 6 to 4

Today we went to the windy city, which appropriately experienced 70mph winds as a very violent thunder cell passed over this morning.  We went to Millennium Park in downtown Chicago and played in the Crown Fountain, looked at the Cloud Gate (aka the bean).  We also crossed the very artsy BP Pedestrian Bridge to Daly Bicentennial Park where we saw Buckingham Fountain.

 Unfortunately it appears there is gang activity here and we had to be careful crossing back over the BP Bridge as they were some shady characters hanging out near it.

With the sun having burnt through the clouds and safely across BP Bridge we stopped at the Crown Fountain again so Peter and Tyler could cool down.
Jo ran up the bridge to escape the "gang".

We made it back to Jo's house in Plano for dinner and are heading back to St Charles to crash at Jaq's house.  No idea where we head tomorrow, stay tuned.
