The Allen Family Takes Chicago (Part 2)









































While visiting the lovely city of Chicago we not only saw some of the sites, but we took this opportunity to see family too. The first morning in Chicago, at my cousin's house, Nathan and I were up at the crack of dawn. My cousin Becky was already up and getting ready for the day and so was her oldest, Sean. Sean and Nathan took this opportunity to get to know one another while the other 4 kids were still sleeping.



Later that morning, after everyone had breakfast and showers we headed off to the hotel to get settled in and Travis had to get to work. Our hotel was pretty cool (Embassy Suites on the lakefront). We had a nice view of downtown Chicago from our 13th floor window. There was a pretty cool clock on the ground that we are guessing the hands broke off or it just worked another way, but it was still pretty cool to see. Braden really wanted to ride one of the double decker tour buses, but time got away from us and we did not get to ride one.
