Cantigny Park

Our good friends, Oriana, Grayson and Susanna, flew in to join us for a week while we were back in Chicago. We decided to spend a day checking out Cantigny Park.

It's hard to believe we have never been here before.  Robert R. McCormick left Cantigny, a 500-acre world of beauty, history, learning and fun, as a gift to the community for all to enjoy.

I love kids in a tree...

The kids really enjoyed the Tank Park which houses 11 inoperable, United States Army tanks. Reading the informational plaques and climbing the tanks was a memorable way to create an up close, and one of a kind experience.
