Chicago

After dropping Dexter off at day camp, Chad and I headed over to Hyde Park for our Obama bike tour given by Bobby's Bike Hike. We were running a tad behind and were afraid we were going to miss it, but lucky for us - they were running behind too.

Obama Bike Tour highlights:

• University of Chicago - what a beautiful campus
• Obama's former bachelor pad and current family residence (I could only peek at it through much shrubbery)
• bicycling next to Lake Michigan

We attempted to eat at Dixie Kitchen, an Obama fave, but it was closed. Boo.

We thought we'd give public transportation a shot, but after waiting 20 minutes for a train we gave up and drove into the city. After tons of traffic, we finally found parking and ventured around.

We wondered around Millennium Park and the Chicago Cultural Center. We definitely want to come back for a long weekend. There's just so much to do in Chicago.
