Chicago Day 2

Up for Devo and reading in the motel lobby.  We left for the city at 8:15.  I watched HGTV until 8.  Now that's a treat for me.  We had a tour guide to tell us about places as we drove around downtown.  The bean was really cool; I do love the look of stainless steel.  I took a lot of pictures at The Lincoln  Park Conservatory.  Great plants.  We ate Chicago pizza at Navy pier outside.   It was so good.  YUM!!!  Then down to the Willis Tower.  It seemed like there was a lot of waiting in lines there.  ALOT!!  Wait to get in, Wait to go thru security, Wait to get on elevator, Wait to get on a second elevator, Wait to use bathroom,  We almost didn't wait in line for the clear 104th story floor because we were to be back to the bus at 4:30.  That wait was worth it, but many from ouor bus just went to wait in line to take the elevator back down 103 floors.  We made it back in time BUT when we got there the bus was not starting.  So YES, we were there waiting until 8 pm.  Uffta!!! 52 people on a street corner  3 1/2 hours and waiting in a bus to take us on the 40 minute ride back to our motel.  Three and a half hours. People were in pretty good spirits.  I had said to Jeanie, "We should try to not say anything negative.  ('cause my mom used to say, if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all)."  We had nothing else planned for the day, no pressing deadlines to keep.  A McDonalds restroom was a couple blocks away.  It was warm and not windy, so the weather for spending time outside was perfect.  BUT right before we left, Jean said to me,"Faith, you need to give me that talk again."  That made me laugh right out loud.  Finally back to the motel and chill before heading to bed.   Denny is still having fun with Jack, who left about 5 to go home with his parents.
