I was at Millennium Park so I decided to swing by Taste of Chicago. I’ve been kind of lacking inspiration lately and I thought I could get some good photos. It was really hot and the festival was super crowded. I was just sweaty and cranky. Plus, people don’t really like to get their photos taken that much when they’re completely pigging out. I’m not really happy with any of the photos I took.

One stroll through Grant Park and you’ll understand Chicago’s nickname, “The City in a Garden“.

BP Bridge is the only bridge in the world designed by Frank Gehry. The bridge goes over Columbus Drive, connecting Millennium Park with Grant Park. It also provides an acoustic barrier between park goers and traffic noise.

Also, although I’ve seen many photos of the Millennium Park, Saturday was the first time I’ve actually seen it for real. The top photo is Frank Gehry’s footbridge leading from Grant Park to Gehry’s pavilion in Millennium Park.

After some messed up travel arrangments (thanks, Mother Nature!), Tien and Jeannette arrived in Chicago on Saturday morning instead of Friday night. We decided to go to Taste of Chicago where we could carry on our tradition of taking photos of each other stuffing our faces. It was a fun time, we did a lot of people watching, and we ate a lot of good food.
