Buckingham Fountain

Today was another day full of action. We started our day by heading up north again to work our way down what they call the "Magnificent Mile", which is Chicago's answer to New York's 5th avenue. All kinds of fancy stores lining the road. After walking down to the river, we got to see one of the many bridges going up. From there we headed on down to Grant Park to check out some of the things going on out there, and then see a huge fountain that they have.

This picture is of a fountain called Buckingham Fountain which was really cool to see, and apparently was featured in the opening credits of the show Married With Children, certainly a classic. In the background of the fountain you can see a good bit of the city skyscrapers. Slightly off center to the left you can see the Sears tower, tallest building in the U.S.

After the fountain we headed down the road some more (on the bus) and went to see Solider Field. It was neat to see the field, although not as cool as one would hope. As for the picture, enjoy!
