Summer in Chicago, July 4th through the 7th.

Every year Chicago hosts Taste of Chicago, where 64 downtown restaurants set up tents in Grant Park and serve up their special dishes. Try something new! 11 tickets for $7. The "taste" portion is a bargain! For all who are curious, goat meat is tough. =( The alligator was a little better, but still not too tender.

Married with children? No, not yet! Buckingham Fountain is in Grant Park near the lake front. It was blazing hot weather.

This is me and Irene with the Sears Tower in the background as we stand on the edge of Lake Michigan. It's a 2hr wait to get in to see the Sears Tower, so we didn't have a chance to go.

These are my cousins Eugene and Sanders and a little girl I don't know. Many relatives were over at my Uncle's BBQ because one of our cousins was getting married.

My cousin Esmond's wedding was the best. We had the greatest time.

Me and Anthony. Isn't he a cutie pie?

We were treated to Dim Sum on Sunday. We ordered so much food. Cousins Mike, Eugene and Sanders.

Us again with cousins. We ate over $100 worth of dim sum.

Mike and Sanders have a cool condo at the end of Randolph, overlooking Lake Michigan. Nice Rooftop view!

Boba drinks are also quite popular in Chicago's New Chinatown.
