Chicago 2016 - Day Nine

We are feeling the weather slowly warm up today, although it certainly has a wintry edge to it.

We left our room this morning with the plan to visit Macy's, but as they don't open until 10.00am, we were too early. So instead we Nordstrom Rack again where we were able to find another suitcase. A red one. Nice.

Today contained two great highlights. The first and greatest of these was sitting in on Tom's singing lesson. We heard Tom sing like we haven't heard him sing before. We knew he had improved and that he was feeling better about his singing but to hear it ourselves was wonderful. It was also nice to meet his teacher. He has a huge voice too!

He had nice things to say about Tom too. Parents always like to hear those things.

We had planned to visit the Museum of Contemporary Photography, but they are closed while they prepare for the next exhibition. Oh well.

After lunch we walked along the lake shore through the parks here. A lovely walk on a cool day. We stopped at the museum & enjoyed the view across to the city. Took some photos of some birds and it was there we had the second highlight of the day.

We saw squirrels!

They are so cute!!

I am now watching Kobe Bryant's last basketball game for the  L. A. Lakers. This is the biggest news story in America today. Although the Golden State Warriors breaking the  NBA record tonight for most wins in a season might be a big a story.
