    Here are some more pictures from our time in Chicago 
before we had to take Tyler and Carlos to the airport...

			Of course Mickey would be engraved in the walls outside the

    After a very difficult drop off at the airport (it was 
much more difficult to say goodbye than I thought it was going to be when we 
arranged for this trip many months ago) Samantha, Drew, Jayden, and I headed 
back into downtown Chicago to do some more sightseeing. After a 16 mile, 1 hour 
and 15 minute ride, we made it back to the Magnificent Mile once again.
