Pioneer Zephyr

John climbed up the outside of the cab of the Pioneer Zephyr at the Museum of Science and Industry.

He loves trains! It's genetic. ;-)

Magic Bus

Through the eyes of a child, even a ride on a city bus can be a big adventure. The kids took their first ride on a city bus in down town Chicago during our recent visit. When we were done, Carolyn confessed it was here first CTA bus ride too. How could that be? She knows Chicago better than I do . . . How could I be the resident expert on anything chicago related?

Then I recall . . . Eighteen years ago i was a chicago commuter. My mad commuting skills paid off. Young kids who can't walk two miles of city streets in twenty degree weather were given a rest while we rode from the Sears Tower to Water Tower Place.

Walking down the Magnificent Mile eventually tuckered out Emmalee, who hitched a ride on mom's back.
