4.28.23 Rainbow Beach, Chicago, IL

 This post is in progress. Please see older posts for descriptive content.

We're big fans of Rainbow Beach. It's actually shaped like a rainbow and we always see fun stuff here. There are a lot of names and dates carved into the rocks along the shoreline, dating back to the 1940s and 1950s. This was our second time seeing a Herring gull, and our third time seeing a coyote!
