Irish Festivities started the day! We saw the river dyed green, then checked out the parade.
http://www.chicagostpatsparade.com/river-dye.html The Bean was on the way so we stopped for pictures.
http://www.millenniumpark.org/artandarchitecture/cloud_gate.html We must have looked fine...we got stopped twice for people to take our pictures!! :-) (Note: We never did see our pictures in the paper though...darn!) We decided to leave the parade and got stuck in a mob of people! Probably an hour later we escaped and went to lunch at Houlihan’s or as I called it Hooligans (!).
http://www.houlihans.com/ I ate the essential St. Patrick's Day feast, corned beef, cabbage, and green beer! Not a fan of beer, green or not, so I entertained Dawn and Ann with the faces I made with each sip. :-)
Next we shopped at Hardrock Hotel

http://www.chipublib.org/ just as it was closing! Oh well!
Stopped at various shops along the way. We ate dinner at
Su Casa Mexican Restaurant (Ike Sewell started this restaurant. Probably better known for his Pizzeria Uno.). The food was tasty and the margaritas strong!
