Cloud Gate

After the wine tasting we strolled back toward home. Walking through Millennium Park we detoured to the 'Bean'.

In case you have not seen it, the Bean is actually called Cloud Gate, but became known as the Bean by its shape - much to the dismay of the artist - and was the center of much conversation during the creation of Millennium Park. To learn more about how the park came to be and the history behind the bean check out the links.

The attraction to the Bean is the unique angles of the city that reflect off the sculpture. We took the opportunity to capture some pictures.

Gilbert loves looking at the mirrors at home. Particularly watching his parents. Just recently he became enamored or interested in looking at himself. We had a blast during our time. We walked around and under the sculpture and all Gilbert did was reach out his arm to touch it.
