Navy Pier at Daytime

I decided to take a day off and take my dear daughter for her favorite train ride to downtown Chicago. Not only that, I added a boat ride (water taxi from the train station to Navy Pier and back) and a day trip to Navy Pier. -- Stella

Took this on the boat ride to Navy Pier. It's the Merchandise Mart building..If I recall it correctly, this building has five zip codes! The clouds looked interesting here as well.

Wrigley building..I used to work in NBC building right across this building.

Some interesting wall decorations in Chicago Children's Museum. I think it has something to do with Mexican's day of the dead.

Playing farm (2nd fl of Chicago Children's Museum)

Waiting in line for three ride combo of the Carousel.

Rode the giant ferris wheel. Few views from the top.



Love the color of the wave swingers here.

My version of the zoo

I didn't go with Stella, but I went to the zoo several weeks ago. These are my favorite photos. -Feli

Zoo Day

Cannot waste a nice day in Chicago! It's a rare 80'F, zero humidity day and we wanted to be outside. The winning place was the BROOKFIELD ZOO! -- Stella




The shameless brown bear kept scratching its butt while we were watching.


Okapi...I'd like to think of it as a hybrid of horsey and zebra? The zoo called it the forest giraffe.







Cupcakes Hunting

My girlfriends and our daughters went on a date night yesterday. We went to see Disney PRINCESS on Ice, had dinner at Cheesecake Factory on Michigan Ave, then...CUPCAKES hunting !! -- Stella

"Sprinkles" just opened on Walton St. There was a long line and we were planning to go there after dinner but they closed at 8!

Then, we found another place that opens until Midnight and was highly recommended by my work friend. The place's name is "Molly's Cupcakes" in Lincoln Park.

Dear daughter could not wait to eat her Mixed Berry cupcake. I was just trying to take a picture of it before it got all messed up.

And mine is the white one : Peanut Butter and Nutella! Yumm!

Halloween Came Early


My 3 year-old got too excited about her Snow White costume. She has been wearing it every night since I bought it. -- Stella


She took this picture by herself using the Canon infrared remote control. She insisted to have a picture taken with Donna, the dog, even if she had to sneak under the dining table. -- Stella
