Chicago: Nobody said it was eeeaaassssyyyy...
A "Short" trip to Chicago to see Coldplay turned into a downpour or two, a space center, a boat ride, and a broken car radiator. 2.5 days. Not a day and a night. Oh, and a concert!
So, the rain. Well, let's say that it was rainier than Seattle in a hurricane. So rainy, in fact, that the opening acts for Coldplay were cancelled after 30 minutes of downpour. More on the concert later.
Now, on Sunday, we went to the Adler Planetarium. It was more awesome than watching a documentary on Coldplay (probably), but not as awesome as one of their concerts. We saw 3 shows at the planetarium, and took about 50 photos. I learned a bunch about space!
Boats! In Chicago, you can take water taxis and water tours: To Navy Pier, where the water tours are launched, anyway. There is a ferris (Bueller) wheel! There is also a 35 minute boat tour of the city skyline.
When we got to Chicago on Saturday, our car started smoking. Literally. It turns out the radiator was broken. And the car fixing company would have it checked out by Sunday. Later, I discovered that we would be in town until Monday
Finally, the concert. A Head Full of Dreams! Coldplay played most of the family's favorite songs. Sorry Dad, I know that they didn't play "Lost?". At the end, well,
That's what happened.
So, Chicago. Crazy, Rainy, and Baby T.'s home. Chicago: it's amazing at it's worst, and incredible at it's best.
