Downtown Chicago from Navy Pier

First time to Chicago and we had a great time. We left Wed. from Alton, IL and traveled by train to Chicago. We stayed with our cousin, Beth and her family until Sat. The biggest thrill was seeing Oprah on Thursday. Although, the show was not Oprah's favorite things show or handing out car keys to the audience, it was still fun to go and see what a taping of Oprah was like. Carnie Wilson, the singer from Wilson Phillips was the celebrity guest. It was about people who have had gastric bypass surgery and transferred their addition to alcohol instead of food. Kind of sad. Not sure when the show will air, but there's a good chance we made TV. I shouldn't say that, because we may not make it on there at all and I wouldn't want to disappoint my fans. -Ha ha- We had good seats, sitting in the second row, stage left from Oprah. We covered a lot of ground in Chicago by walking or taking taxi's. There's so much to do and very little time to do it all in 3 days. We're hoping to go back around Christmas time. The kids would enjoy the sights-not too sure about the freezing cold we'd all endure.
