This was our view this morning when we took the kids to the Signature Room in the John Hancock Building. We were there for lunch and to watch the Chicago Air and Water Show.
I was a little worried about the weather– when I woke up it was pouring, but then the sun came out and things seemed promising, and then it looked like it was going to rain again. Fortunately, the weather turned out perfectly: it seemed to keep the crowds on the street down, and the view from 95 floors up was very very cool.

We had lunch with Glenn and Lauren, and afterwards we went across the street to the Ghirardelli Chocolate Cafe, where Emma and I shared a banana split and Lisa and Bec split a chocolate brownie sundae. Glenn also had a banana split and Lauren had this awesome looking ice cream cone that featured a dipped waffle cone. We also spent some time in the Hershey’s Chocolate Store, conveniently located across the street from Ghirardelli. We got out of there unscathed, at least by chocolate.
It’s evening now and we’re back home, trying to decide our evening plans.
