A bad taste

We went to the "Taste of Chicago" with a bunch of people from our office. Its a big event where every restaurant in Chicago has a booth so you can taste their food. We hated it! It was soooo crowded! We took an hour long train ride there and 30 minutes later Zach and I were running down the street with a stroller, hoping to catch the next train back home! We barely missed it, so we just walked around Chicago until the next train arrived. Here are pictures of the trip:

Jonah was not loving the train ride..(I wasn't either) The only thing that would calm him down was a cell phone and Zachary's glasses.
Here is one of the many weirdos of Chicago. I felt bad for the guy because everyone wanted a picture with him, but no one would leave any money for him.
This gives you an idea of how INSANE the crowd was there! We could barely move and I kept running over people's feet with the stroller!
Here is Zach making a wish that everyone around him would go away. He hates crowds!
Here is another strange attraction. A Face fountain! All I could think about was how embarrassed I would be if that was me! The old lady's face would change from a smile to a frown. WEIRD.
WOW a mirror! Even though we had a good time strolling down the streets of Chicago, Zach made me promise him we would never do anything like that again.I forget his job requires him to walk for 9 hours a day. Guess my dream of visiting NYC is ruined. Anyone want to go?

I love that picture of Jonah with the glasses...how cute! I hate crowds too, so I thought that picture of your husband making that wish was really funny!
