It was a last minute trip, though it had been planned for about two years (we just didn't know when we would go). We drove to Milwaukee,
WI and rode on the
Amtrak train to Chicago,
IL. We spent a few hours in Chicago and then rode the train back to Milwaukee. Then we spent the night with Jeff's brother and his family. It was a fast and furious trip but was well worth it. Walter was in his glory (and Daddy too) riding a train and seeing lots of train action (along with skyscrapers and airplanes and city buses). Walter told me that he wanted to "spend three weeks in the
Amtrak station." In this picture he is peering out of the train window at another passing train.
Here we are in the train. Jeff gave Walter his old camera and Walter was so thrilled to take his own pictures, especially of his favorite subject TRAINS! Anyway this was one that he took.
This picture turned out a little dark since we where in the train terminal but I added it since we where standing next to one of the
Amtrak trains.
The inside of Union Station in Chicago was beautiful with such intricate ceilings!
It was fun to walk around, Jeff had researched where to eat and we ate at a place with all
homemade food that lots of famous people have eaten at and had the special treat of Fanny May
chocolate for dessert (which was special for me since my grandparents used to give us Fanny May chocolate often for special occasions).
