Riding the "L"

My daughter and her family recently visited us in Chicago.  We did road trips out of the city, lots of museum in the city, and even stood on the sky deck of the Willis Tower.  Still, the one landmark that held the most fascination and received the most unsolicited comments was the "L".  Every time we were outside they would listen for it!  Everywhere we went, they would look for it!  So...when the adults went to dinner at a fine Chicago steakhouse, we went for a ride on the "L".

Riding the train...

and riding some more!

In all, we probably went on at least 8 different trains, stopping at different stops and hopping on the next train coming through.  We went on the brown, pink, orange, and purple lines.  The only one we didn't try was the green.  It was a delightful hour and 45 minutes and Daniel still wanted to keep going!
