While Christian was in Austin

We boarded a train at South Station in Boston.

24 hrs later, we got off in...
can you figure it out?
Here are some clues.

We played in some fountains.

Rode bikes along the magnificent mile, and learned about architecture.

Visited several museums,

and the "free" zoo.
How much does "free" cost Mom and Dad?

We ate some of this,

and rode the Ferris Wheel.

Then, there was the evening of perfect weather, with a picnic dinner and concert..."free" again.

There were lots of fountains to cool off in.

Route 66 starts here.


Biking was by far the best way to get around here.


This is a big hint.
Have you guessed it?
It starts with a "Chi"

and ends with a "cago".

And now we have all the memories to smile and savor.
