Chilly in the #WindyCity - walking across the river from #ChicagoUnionStation to #WillisTower

Fun fact: the building, formerly known as the #SearsTowers by us old folk, is 50 years old!

The #WillisTower #Skydeck is scary!

Ramen was a very brave puppet today (and #SplendaDaddy was a very brave husband, too!).

We made it to the #ModelAircraft #FlyingClub in time for the #eclipse - hooray!

This front plane has camoflague paint & bullseyes on the wings. Is this ironic, or is it saying "shoot here, not at the pilot"?

We found a #CoveredBridge on our county drive in #Indiana. What a pretty place to chill for a while.

I found #TheBean and an honest-to-gods #bubbler !

@RamenCatholic Great photos! I'm glad you had some fun in my hometown!

@Malleus thanks, I hope to come back soon-ish to explore more! I really enjoyed everything I saw (and ate) ... gonna have to "diet" for a little while.

Six "cheat days" in a row is a bit excessive.
