We are hosting a foreign exchange student from Courcouronnes, France.  It is a suburb of Paris.  Yesterday we picked up Lilou from O'Hare and will take her to Zionsville where she will go to school with Isabelle and do various field trips around the area during the 2 weeks she will be here.

Welcome Lilou!

She was up early and so Isabelle, Lilou and I walked around Millennium Park before the relentless rain began in Chicago.

 We had intentions on going to the top of Willis tower last night but it was a 4 hour wait!  What!?  

Unfortunately we only had this miserable rainy (and no visibility) day to see the 2nd tallest skyscraper in North America.  

 With hardly any lines and a slow elevator we made it to the top which the girls thought was a great experience regardless!  They loved the plexiglass viewing area!  We were so lucky and had a brief minute break in the clouds so we could see a misty view on top!

After a visit to Dylan's candy bar and walking down Michigan Avenue we ventured back to Indianapolis.

We love Chicago and took advantage of a long President's weekend to enjoy the windy city...and a bit snowy from their last storm.    

We stayed at the Palmer House Hilton which is such a great location!  We stopped at the Corner Bakery Cafe for breakfast and then walked to the Maggie C. Daley Park.  We nearly had the place to ourselves this Sunday morning!

We really needed better snow gear and boots but the girls had so much fun!

 Such a cool place and so much fun!!!!  

 We then went to the Art Institute of Chicago.  This museum is truly a treasure full of amazing works of art.  We enjoyed Dali and Warhol to the great classics including sculptures by Rodin and famous Van Gogh and Picasso.
