Somehow, it started when he was young. Every time we saw flamingoes, we got a picture of him with them. Maybe all those pics will make a good video one day.

Well, the shoes are several years old, but I wore some spots on the inside of each shoe that was quite uncomfortable. We found a Sports Authority but it was closed.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2096.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"IMG_2096\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_2096\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_2096_thumb.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"436\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I may try to run by in the morning and see if I can find some shoes.

They were having a big fireworks show at the Navy Pier (do not ever go there on July 4th!) and we could see it from our hotel room.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/P1030465.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"P1030465\" border=\"0\" alt=\"P1030465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/P1030465_thumb.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"328\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1792.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px\" title=\"IMG_1792\" border=\"0\" alt=\"IMG_1792\" src=\"https:\/\/www.craigmashburn.com\/travelblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_1792_thumb.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"434\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So tomorrow we board our train back to Fort Worth.
