Happy Wordless Wednesday!
I have always wanted to go to Chicago so I am thankful you took us along. The bean photos are amazing. I love the photo from under the bean.
Thanks for linking up and have a fabulous fall day!

I always feel so pathetic and sad when I see pictures of the Bean... I live in Chicago and have never been!

I can't believe I've never been to Chicago! I take that back...I flew into Chicago once but didn't see the city. Those pics are great and make me want to visit! Happy Wednesday :)

It's been a loooooong time since I've been in Chicago, and I see that things have changed slightly. :-) I'm hoping to get down there in November. A trip to Chicago should definitely brighten up a dreary November weekend!

Dah. Why didn't I think to take pics of the BOTTOM of The Bean. Next time, I shall!
