boxing day in chicago

for christmas day, we took a walk by the lake in the sunny but crisp weather. then we drove to oak park to bring my dad on the walking tour of Frank Lloyd Wright houses. on the tour, we saw a life-sized manger scene involving various mannequins, which was both impressive and a bit scary at the same time.

although americans don’t have “boxing day”, we still opted to try the shopping again in downtown. we enjoyed a lunch with a beautiful view at the top on the John Hancock building, and then took our time down Michigan Avenue, aka the Magnificent Mile.
