Our surprise vacation in Chicago

Thanks to some strategic decisions on our part (giving up our seats for travel vouchers) and a mechanical issue when we actually got on a flight, we ended our East Coast trek with 4 nights (courtesy of United Airlines) in Chicago!
We rode the double-decker bus, seeing all the sights and stopping for some great strolls around the city...

A priceless photo opportunity (in a hotel that the kids could have only dreamed about)...
  
A day at the zoo (as if all days aren't)...
 
Question- Who's the higher mammal?

Farewell Chicago!
