Turkey part one! Chicago

 Having survived long flights, 11 hour time difference and jet lag we are finally back from Turkey. Yay!  My family and I had a wonderful time!

When I was a kid I had a very hard time spelling Chicago.  At age 12 I looked at the word very hard and broke it down to... Chic A Go.  I'm still thinking up an easy way to remember Milwaukee...   Anyways the first leg of our trip we spent in Chicago.  We were there for about three days.

Posing in front of Lake Michigan.  We are waiting to get into the Chicago Aquarium

 Hubby decided to buy us "city passes" and with those we were able to go and see lots of neat stuff... the Aquarium, Field Museum, and go up Sears Tower ( renamed to Willis Tower)

The Lights of Chicago.  On top of the Willis Tower.  Which is 103 floors!

After spending three days in the Big City we were defiantly ready to get on with  our trip.  On the 12th of October we board a plane for Munich German, which was a 9 hour, over night plane ride.  From Munich we caught a two and half hour plane ride to Ankara, Turkey where we spent three days before busing down to Bolu, Turkey.  We spent the majority of our trip in Bolu.

Seth's first
  1. Riding on public transport all over Chicago. (or should I say Chic A Go)
  2. Taking a long elevator ride up the Willis Tower.
  3. Touring Chicago, museums, and seeing dinosaurs (at the museums of course.)
  4. The picture of him playing in the grass is actually one of the first times he felt the grass with bare feet.  The grass around here is usually always wet.
