Sunday 13 May

Like Australia, today was Mothers Day in the US.. Happy Mothers Day mums!! We miss you... not long till we see you again. We love you so much!!

Di enjoyed her first Mothers Day with her little baby inside her. Check out this clip, if you discount the breathing and watch closely you can see the baby moving and bumping around.

After a little sleep in and a great healthy breakfast of cereal and fruit we headed back into town to begin our movie tours...Yesterday in Borders we found a book which told us all the movie locations for the Movie Fugitive and US Marshalls so we thought we'd go and find some.



Our first stop was at the raised bridge where Wesley Snipes escapes from the police in US Marshalls. Chicago is a such a great city and the people here are so nice.
From here we headed to City Hall, this is where Harrison Ford escapes from the Marshalls after visiting a criminal, only to realise this was not his wife's murderer. Tommy Lee Jones chases him out of City Hall firing shots into bullet proof glass. Check out this clip of City Hall Square.

From here we headed to Dearborn St where the St Patrick Day Parade took place and Harrison hid in the crowd.











Then from here we headed down to South Michigan St to check out the final location of the Fugitive film, the Hilton Chicago. We even went inside to see the conference room where the confrontation took place.









check out this clip from inside.

Then from here we headed back to the airport and boarded our flight to San Francisco to meet Michelle Motta!! YAY!!! We arrived in San Francisco about 9:30pm and were met by Michelle then taken back to her apartment in the heart of San Francisco... A really great place. We stayed up and chatted, Di and Michelle had a lot of catching up to do and we ended up getting to bed around 12:30am
