2/26/16 Leaving Chicago for home today

We are all packed and ready to go home to our amazing family.  Miss all of you lots
Look at those window washers up there. Yikes

Sue in the Trump Hotel.  Fresh orchids everywhere we went in there
Bill waiting for us to go down the hall on the 16th floor
Sue in the bathroom.  They had baskets of washcloths to wipe hands on.  Sue is throwing hers in the laundry.  Great smelling hand lotion for us to use too
We made it to Ghiradelli's.  They gave us each a yummy candy to try,
Here's Bill's piece.  He doesn't like raspberry.  Lucky me
Pizza at Giordanos in Chicago

This is where we ate breakfast and got our coffee every day at our hotel.  There are lots of small tables on both sides of the fireplace.  Don't really show up good in my pictures.


Took a picture through the fireplace.  Got Charlie on the other side
Bill and I on the train heading to Flint.  


We got up and had eggs, bacon, fruit, bagels, muffins biscuits and gravy for breakfast.  Of course I didn't try everything.   I finished my delicious cheesecake before I went.  The best ever!  We relaxed in our room for an hour and then went down and checked our luggage in so we could walk around Chicago again.  Went to the Trump Hotel to check it out.  Easter Brunch will be $160....but kids eat cheap, only $50 ha ha.  Didn't buy anything in Ghiradelli's because it was very pricey.  They wanted $10.95 for a small hot fudge sundae. We did enjoy the sample they gave us. We walked down by where the bean is then headed back.  Stopped at Giordanos for deep dish pizza.  Very yummy.  Went back to our hotel and got our luggage and had a coffe before heading to the train station.  Our taxi driver was from Africa.  He was very nice...the taxi drivers sure know how to speed through traffic.  Our train ride home was nice and time passed quickly.  When we got to the train station in Flint, the car was snowed in and there was a big drift, but Charlie and Bill got out out pretty easy.  Clear roads on the way home.
