I had thought about going into Chicago to visit a museum for the past couple of months. I decided late last night that today was the day.
No dogs to let out, no zoo date, no doctor's appointments, Jackie doing ok..... so I headed to Elburn this morning for a day in the city.
And I didn't tell anyone....not Dan, or John, or Gretchen and Lorraine, or Linda. Jackie knew, but I decided late in the day and figured it was easier for me to just go alone.
Anyway, I had lunch, visited a museum or two, walked a lot, and took some pictures.
I like going into the city. I made a goal of one trip each month that was not baseball related. And since I am tied up on Tuesday and Wednesdays, my opportunities are a little limited. It turned out, today was one of those free days.
Remember: I like reflections.

| One place I stopped in was the McCormick Bridgehouse and Chicago River Museum at Michigan Ave. |
 |
| In the bridgehouse, you get to go a up to the top and check out the amazing views Being an operator and stationed in one of these structures would have been a pretty cool job. |
 |
| Gears that raise and lower the bridge. The information said that now days the bridges only go up five or 6i times a year, when in the past they might have gone up as many as 100 times a year. |
