July 4th in Chi-town
This year's July 4th falls on Wednesday, smack bang in the middle of the week. Talk about bad timing. I'll spend the weekend here in Chi-town, with Wendy flying in for the July 4 festivities. Speaking of which, the main one is the Taste of Chicago - the world's largest world festival. The fireworks on July 3rd off Lake Michigan is reputed to be amongst the best in the US. I'll report on the findings next week. *** UPDATE *** Taste of Chicago was crowded but fortunately there was a gentle breeze blowing throughout the weekend. We tried lots of small portion food (lobster tail was yummy), took photos with the Simpsons movie and caught the Chicago Country Music Festival, with performance by Craig Morgan (we didn't stay for Kenny Rogers and Sara Evans). Water tower, found in many Chicago suburbs. This was taken in Rosemont.
