Hey, Chicago!!

I cannot imagine a more beautiful summer day.  We arrived at Union Station in downtown Chicago at 10:30 AM. 

Getting off the train...

As we walked into the Grand Hall of Union Station...

Warren's first escalator ride!!

Lilly was thrilled to demonstrate how a revolving door works...

Outside the station -- taking in all the sights of the BIG CITY...

We are only a few blocks away from the Willis Tower.

And the Chicago River runs right in front of Union Station.

With all those great lift bridges.

Warren was taking it all in...but seemed remarkably nonplussed...

Jackie found her favorite store -- The Loft...

Warren and I enjoyed a little rest....

This was Warren's first time to see a big city, and I expected a huge reaction to so many new things. The train ride, of course -- but then, walking into the gigantic GRAND HALL of Union Station...his first escalator, his first revolving door, not to mention -- the incredibly tall buildings.

The Willis Tower was right outside the Union Station front door!!  The second tallest building in America!!  And his reaction?? 

Crickets....

That's when I realized.  Holy cow!!  He's 4 years old...and it is simply NOT POSSIBLE to impress a four year old child.  BECAUSE EVERYTHING is new to him, y'know?

In Warren's world,  the tallest building in the world is no more shocking than a woman wearing pink hot pants...
