Chicago day 6

Today we took the "L" out to Oak Park. Oak Park is famous for being the home of Frank Lloyd Wright, Ernest Hemingway, and Edgar Rice Burroughs. The village of Oak Park was the American Frontier in the 1830's not a suburb of Chicago as it is today. We toured Wright's home, where you could see the evolution of his design concepts as he experimented with his own environment. The town boasts many examples of Wright's Prairie School design that is his hallmark.
Later we enjoyed dinner in the theatre district at Pettirino's. Tomorrow we all head off to four different directions until sometime next year.

Chicago day, I don't remember!

Started the day early participated in a Segway Tour. After a short safety video with stick figures falling and hitting their heads we were led to our Segways for some one on one instruction. Must say I was a little apprehensive, I'm a bit balance challenged. Once I had a few minutes tooling around it became quite fun. Went through Millennium Park, Grant Park, and Museum Campus.
After lunch we took an architectural tour via the Chicago River. Old, new, Chicago has been on the forefront of innovative design for years.
A brief rest, a drink at the bar, and off to the White Sox game. Cellular One is a fairly new and comfortable venue to take in a game. We're getting very familiar with riding the "L", it's a great way to get around the city.
On our way home we stopped into Pop's for champaign.
