Enough with the mouth. Since no one back East has come yet to visit me in the Heartland (hint, hint), here are some photos of Chicagoland to pique your interest:



The sailboat's heading out onto Lake Michigan (aka, Gitcheegoome. Really)

The trail is part of the 16+ mile park that runs the entire length of the city proper along the lakefront

Looking toward Milennium Park and the loop.

My first 4th of July in Chicago, 2005 (date on the pic is wrong!)
