Chicago

So Lilian and I braved a 6 hour flight to Chicago to visit James's brother Colin. For some reason he decided to run in the Chicago marathon and we went to support him. While we were there we decided to do some touristy stuff and here are a few pictures!


Lilian trying to get the camera while Tamsin makes, um, an interesting face?


Us in Colin's office. Michigan Avenue (big shopping street) is in the background



Looking down the river. Donald Trump's new tower is being contructed in the distance...not that anyone cares or anything....



Mamma and her baby


We went on a river and lake cruise and this is the city skyline fromLake Michigan



Oh what a suave man that Colin

The day of the race arrives! It's only 90 degrees with a whole ton of humidity...oh well! Colin and his training partner and friend Chris finished the race in just over 4 hours. Pretty amazing really!



Lilian was doused with water regularly to keep her cool. After all we are more used to the Alaksa weather...apparantly it's already snowing back home!!


Lilian decided to help me pack the suitcase as we were preparing to leave. Needless to say I didn't get much done with her around....but she's so cute!
