Hop-On Hop-Off Tour: Millennium Park Stop

So while we were looking for things to do/explore in Chicago, my lovely came across the Chicago Trolley Company and saw that they had these wonderful Hop-On Hop-Off tours that take you all over Chicago and hit most of the highlights. We booked our tour for Friday and set off shortly after we checked into our hotel.

The first stop was Millennium Park. We walked around and explored the park. It was quite lovely. Lots of green space, cool architecture, a huge concert area, and nice walkways. Some of the highlights included:

Cloud Gate aka "the bean". Super cool shiny sculpture.

My lovely in front of the bean. You can see me in the background!

Inside the bean looking up.

My love in front of the concert pavilion.

My silly girlfriend impersonating a T-Rex. She's so fierce.

Perhaps the weirdest part of the park...a Chinese exhibit featuring a giant red pig eating another golden pig and two people...

The weirdest part was the level of detail dedicated to the anus and vaginal opening of the pig. Click for detailed image.

Sadly, on the way out of the park, my poor baby got pooped on by a bird!

Damn bird!
