Chicago

Maya had a great trip to Chicago this week:

She's sort of a diva and required LOTS of luggage.


Maya experienced many modes of transportation, including her first plane ride.

And her first trip on public transportation--Chicago's El.

Plus her first boat ride--seen here checking out the side of the Sears Tower.

Maya really liked Donald Trump's new lakeside skyscraper.

And the Chicago skyline in general.

She absorbed Chicago's art scene, especially the well-known painting--American Gothic.

And Nighthawks.

The outdoor, modern art was cool. This is the Bean with the Bean.

Oprah's building was impressive.

And the food was AMAZING. Deep dish pizza was a favorite.

While Daddy was at his Lead-Based Paint conference, Maya caught up on Sportscenter.

She also met Katie's friend Puja from UVA.

And Larkin's friends D.J. and Quincy (from Teach For America).


Maya was an absolutely trooper, and traveled VERY well. She's now all tuckered out--dreaming about the sites and sounds of the Windy City.

What a terrific traveler. It was so much fun to see Maya in Chicago enjoying the art, the hotel, the various modes of transportation and the pizza (even if her eyes were closed). Thank you for sharing the first of many Maya journeys. No doubt that she will be a traveling woman. Loved the photos!!
Love, Shushu
