Chicago, IL

This was our first casino camping. The Oasis RV Park Hollywood Casino had a small campground not far from the main hotel. Lois doesn’t like casino’s but agreed to walk through with me. One older woman evidently hit a slot machine jackpot of a few thousand dollars. She did the happy dance in her chair. The first morning we drove into Chicago and picked up Amanda for breakfast at Yoke. Then we picked up Aiden and visited the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry that included a special Lego art exhibit. Lunch included playing Bocce Ball at Pinstripes.

Starry Night
From a distance it looked like a painting. Only up close do you realize it is Legos.

These were some of my favorite pieces.

Endangered species.

Empire State Express Engine
Mike loves trains. Someday we will take a trip on a train. Perhaps across Canada.

This engine broke the world speed record in 1893, 112.5 mph. The record held for a decade.

Having fun with Amanda and Aiden!
