What a fun thing to do before school starts. I thought it was so unusual that the hotel has a beach theme. Great photos with a cell phone and your daughter is beautiful. She has such a sweet expression and I'm sure she has just as sweet a personality.

She is gorgeous too.<br /><br />A little info re: the Sears Tower...I worked for American Airlines 30 yrs. At one point, I was fortunate enough to be able to "fly" a 767 via a simulator. I sorta flew through the Sears Tower ~ :-) The instructor laughed afterwards and we were both very grateful this experience was not real. I spent 1-1/2 hrs in the simulator and it felt like 15 min.<br /><br />Glad you shared the photos!<br />xo<br />PatGypsy Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776584538863129486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910839235160715770.post-18119636559590813502011-08-21T17:13:14.593-05:002011-08-21T17:13:14.593-05:00Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed your photos!Forgot to mention how much I enjoyed your photos!Pat@Back Porch Musingshttp://backporchmusings.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6910839235160715770.post-60935816182122638042011-08-21T17:12:18.496-05:002011-08-21T17:12:18.496-05:00My daughters and granddaughters took me to Chicago...My daughters and granddaughters took me to Chicago for Mother's Day a few years ago.
