    We then walked the Riverwalk all the way to the Navy Pier!
    We had a nice lunch of shrimp cocktail and Brussel sprouts and salmon salad on the rooftop at Offshore!Read more

    Mother/daughter night out!
    We went to see the musical comedy SIX at the James M. Nederlander Theater!
    Charlotte had already seen it in London last year and liked it so much that she wanted to see it again!
    Afterward we went to watch the Fourth of July fireworks by the waterfront.
    We ended up going to Giordano’s for authentic deep dish pizza! What happens in Chicago stays in Chicago 🙈 What I can say is that we left more than half the pizza. We needed some men around to help us out! Hint! Hint! Boys! 😉

    Built in 1904, these rowhouses mirror the ones found in London.
    Someone got lucky and got to have her picture taken with members of the American military!
    We went back to Wrigley Field afterward to celebrate the victory in the park adjacent to the stadium with music and drinks!

    Let the adventure begin!
    Dropped off Charlotte at Northwestern University for her medicine Summer program!
    Such a beautiful campus!
    Some girls came to introduce themselves right away!
    When Charlotte saw her schedule she was even more excited, if that’s at all possible!!!
    Emergency medical technics, dissection, suturing and so on!
    I think she will have a great time!!!
    Of course! Since this little adventure involves Charlotte and I, it couldn’t be all serious and no fun!!! See the last pics!!!
