Mike's Trip to Chicago 2005 Photos
In September 2005, I went into Chicago with my parents to see the "Chicago Bean" at
Millennium Park. While in Chicago,
we also walked several blocks to the
John Hancock Center and went to the
Observatory. I also went to Brookfield Zoo with
my parents and aunt.

Our first stop at the zoo was the Butterflies! exhibit. It was nearing the end of the season, but there were still hundreds of butterflies.
