On Saturday we went sight seeing. We started the day with an informal dance picture in front of the fake flowers in our building's lobby.
We stopped by the first post office in America which was located just north of where Benjamin Franklin use to live. The structure behind us is the post office and his print shop. we are standing in what would have been his garden. I walk past this post office everyday on my way to work and always thought it was a museum but its a functioning post office.
Then we got on the bus tour. It was a bit pricey but it takes you all over and you can get on an off as many times as you'd like if you want to see the sights they are telling you about.
The only downside to an open top is that the branches can be low. I got hit in the face once. I ducked and it grazed my cheek and ear. The tour guide was facing us so she didn't see them coming and was almost decapitated a couple times.
YIKES!!!
The next day was the Pride Parade. And we caught the 'tail end' of the parade as we were on our way to the Liberty Bell. Gordon's mom had to get a few pictures. I guess it's not something you see on the streets of Streamwood everyday.
We did make it to the bell without getting caught between some greezed up gay men in tiny shorts.
We ended the day near the art museum. It was a nice weekend even though the weather was hellishly hot.
That's all for now. There's a lot more to say but I don't want to overwhelm you with all of my crazy antics. There will be more tomorrow.
