Fall in Chicago seems to be fading fast. The high today was 45, which makes for a very chilly morning and evening dog walk in the park. The city started turning off all the fountains in October, including the ones in our park. Poor Brizzie just couldn't understand what happened to her fountains. People on the streets are bundled up in their puffy coats and all the stores and hotels are already bringing out the lights and tinsel. The Magnificent Mile Lights Festival is on Saturday, complete with Mickey Mouse and Santa, of course. The ice rink in Millennium Park opens tomorrow, which I am super excited about. I can't wait to ice skate in the reflection of The Bean! It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is next week. We've decided to stay in Chicago and have our first Thanksgiving here with Brizz and the kitties. We'll be heading back to the Carolinas for Christmas, which may be a little strange considering we could be leaving a white Christmas here for an almost tropical one in Myrtle Beach. But before we get too far into the holiday season, I thought I'd share a few fall pics from around town.
