Sarah visits Union Station; The train ride home

On the way back to Minneapolis on Tuesday, Sarah and Daddy took an quick opportunity to check out the Beaux-Arts architecture of Chicago's Union Station, which was build in 1925. The station was busiest during World War II, when as many as 300 trains and 100,000 people passed through each day. Those numbers are reduced by half today.

That little girl really knows how to crash!


As we crossed the Mississippi River back into Minnesota, a woman started playing peek-a-boo with Sarah. Sarah really took to her, and Daddy invited her to sit with us as we rode past Lake Pepin. Lulu was traveling home to the Twin Cities from her first year of college in Illinois.
