Day 5-Minneapolis, MN to Merrillville, IN

We had hoped to visit the Mall of America, but with getting in so late the night before and needing to leave earlier than the mall opened, we drove by the outside and snapped a few pictures.  


Lauren hopped out of the car and I took this picture of her.


The Mall from the Interstate


We woke up to a Thunderstorm this morning at the hotel.  It was so loud!  



Cheese and Sausage statue next to a gas station where Scott and I switched driving.


Across the way was a bulldog...

and a cow..


More road construction






First toll road this trip




Uh-oh

Chicago Traffic




Look who's finally awake...Emily has been sleeping most of the trip.











Looking for the parking garage...Last time we came to Chicago, we got lost, found a garage, then got lost trying to get to Navy Pier and then lost trying to find the garage again.  Oh, and there was a giant rainstorm.  This time...we had much better luck.

Can you find us?

Navy Pier in the distance

Giant Jacks on the ground




Throughout Navy Pier there were all these Rolling Stones tongues.  They had an exhibit that you could look at.  We went looking for it, and we kept walking and walking.  

Crystal Gardens








Navy Pier Centennial Wheel











Another Tongue...


Almost there...and then when we got there, it had already closed and it cost money.  No where did they tell you that on any of the signs announcing the exhibit.
