Chicago Car Show

I thought it might be fun to check out the Car Show in the city.  Another trip in the car vs the train. Funny enough, as we were inside the convention center, there was a huge sign that lead to the train station.  We'll need to figure this out the next time we head over to the convention center again!

And here we are! Oh boy, what's up with Charlie and all these weird faces??!

This place is massive!

Okay, I think this is the one I'd like - the Toyota Surf, hard-top convertible :-D

Oh my gosh, this little Fiat is too cute!

As per usual, Graham gravitates to anything that's red:

In the Kids Zone, there's a massive military truck. Woah!

Graham is doing pull-ups, trying to earn himself a shirt from the Marine zone:

He managed 13, just 2 shy of a t-shirt.  Bummer! He did go home with a lanyard, which he was still very happy about.

Graham is getting so strong!

Wow, this entire truck is made out of Legos!!

Okay, looks like Bobby and I don't really need a big camper. We can just load up a tent on top of our truck (like the photo below) and go wandering around the country when we are retired.  LOL!!

Taking a little break and boys are immediately on their phones!  

I had a "chat" with Charlie about playing Pokemon Go while being with the family. He was being quite pouty about it. Little stinker!

Hanging out by the Subaru display.  So fancy! The floor patterns were moving - made me kind of dizzy actually. Ha!

The screen actually opened up and a car would appear.  Marketing really spent a lot of money on this one!

We are back in the little red Fiat before heading home:

There were some fancy cars but not the ones that the boys were hoping to see.  Plus, the fancy ones were roped off pretty far so you couldn't really get too close to them. 

Still a fun experience though!  There were joy rides in Jeeps and what not, up and down steep ramps but we decided not to line up for those. And also test drives, but we decided to head home instead. We did stop by restaurant nearby to get some dim sum, since we didn't get to do that in Chinatown earlier in month.  Yum!!  Forgot to take some photos, but let's just say every one was happy :-D
