Our Columbus Day Adventure 2008

Our Columbus Day Adventure. We started out by taking the Metra train, to Chicago Union Station. We took a bust down Jackson that got us as far as State st. and walked the rest of the way to Columbus drive where City crews were getting ready for the parade. We found a spot and watched the parade until we couldn't bare another moment of Italian people saying how wonderful they are, and really bad marching bands ( the marching band featured in the Chicago Tribune's picture never even played... they just did this poorly coreographed dance and continued marching). We then walked as far as we could down Columbus and then walked through the park to the Field Museum.
