6:15 a.m. - on the road on the way to South Bend to catch the train.
6:35 a.m. - get a call from the train station letting us know the train would be two hours late.
Enjoyed leisurely breakfast and photo shoot with Big Boy.
Changed our names to Shanaynay, Bernard and Dad while waiting for the train.
Arrived in Chicago starving- had chicken strips and nachos and invented a dance called the chicken strip.
Became completely confused by the subway system but only walked through a turnstile without our suitcases one time. Found our hotel.
Dumped the suitcases and hit the town- second subway ride went much smoother. Saw sculptures and fountain in Millenium Park. Walked a zillion blocks to the Hershey store and bought a tiny Hershey kiss keychain.
Realized we had walked three blocks past our hotel, making another subway navigation unnecessary. Picked up some yummy food from Whole Foods (including an apple for Mick- his attempt to coax out his very first loose tooth). Took it back to the hotel to eat while vegging in the super comfy beds and watching tv.
Tomorrow: Navy Pier, hopefully with one less tooth than we had today.
Mick's class made birds. Mick's bird has to go to the bathroom.
I was a good sport and tried to refrain from ranting about my emergency room deductible as we flew down the hill!
