2010 Vaca...to Chicago


When you live in Hawaii where do you go to get "off island?"  If you're local Las Vegas is a good bet, but if you're not its usually back to the mainland to visit family.  After Scott got on a plane to go back to the land of sand I got on a plane to Chicago where my sister lives.  She's not far from Navy Pier so there's lots to see and do...

Only a few pictures...really...

Nothin' like seeing yourself in a gigantic mirror!


the sister...the one in the sunglasses...


not the sister..,just getting stared down by a giraffe at the Lincoln Park Zoo


time to sail!










  
the scary ferris wheel...





Down by the lake

Buckingham fountain...its H-U-G-E


Nothing like drinking mojitos and playing poker for pennies with the family!
