Best Downtown Trip

On my last day in Chicago I went downtown to check on everything and visited Chicago's new "Millenium Park" (which opened in 2004) for the first time ever.

Chicago now has it's own Frank Gehry situation going on with this bridge and bandshell.



































The park's giant shiny bean (also known as "the reason I wanted to go to the park in the first place") was all covered up for some reason, like to ruin my trip, I think.



This fountain didn't look interesting enough to make me want to walk over and check it out.



But these fountains were another story altogether . . .
