Day Eighteen: Downtown Chicago

We made a return visit to the Christkindlmarket with Papa, so the boys could show him the nutcrackers and smokers they liked.

Then we looked at the windows at Macy's.

The best window display was spotted as we were on our way to the bus. It did not have a Red Ryder Air Rifle, but it did have a bunny suit.

We took the bus to the MCA and saw the Andrew Bird and Ian Schneller soundscape exhibit, or the sonic arboretum, as they have called it. It was the very best thing at the MCA, and I only wish they would make it a permanent exhibit. It was so lovely to walk into the atrium and hear the lovely and familiar sounds of Andrew Bird and see the gorgeous speakers, some spinning.

 

We can always use this reminder to be a little more present:
