What a super trip to Chicago, exceeding all my expectations.  The weather was spectacular, the food ranged from good to awesome (loved the Italian steak sandwiches), the architecture was fabulous (especially from the river cruise), sports (riding a bike along the river front, and playing ping pong at the SPIN club), and the artwork interesting (see Chicago Art Institute, Paws and Chicago Tribune stones - which stone doesn't belong?).  Our 2 highlights were Hamilton and the Billy Joel concert at Wrigley Field.  We even drove out to Evanston to meet Kyle's SAS friend, and we visited Northwestern while we were there. All of this of course was enhanced by hanging out with our cousins.
