I am a sudden drift of memory bliss...
My kind of town, Chicago
I woke up this morning, still a little groggy, and started getting ready for work, wishing I didn't have to go...that I was still on vacation, in good old Chi-town. What a trip. We had a lot of fun out there this weekend. So many things to talk about, so many places we went to see(like the Sears and John Hancock towers), so much good eating(like Sushisamba or Giordano's), all the shopping, the walking, the getting lost, I think I'll just let everyone's pictures tell the tale. I can't believe there were actually 16 of us out there. It's so much fun to travel in a large group, lots of laughs, and it's just more comfortable too. Of course there are the downsides...automatic 18% tips during our meals(mostly), splitting up because different people want to do things(but that's also a plus, you can "Choose your own Adventure" he he he), and waiting for everyone to be ready. I don't really mind that so much though. The funny thing about having such a big traveling group was when Joemama got onto the "L" and no one realized it til it was too late. And there was a bunch of confusion about where to go and this and that...it was pretty funny now that I look back on it. But all in all, a great trip. Here are some pics, with more still to come:

ENJOY!
I like towns with good mass transit systems. I kinda wish we had one in LA, but that's a bit of a reach, considering the city is about 450 square miles in area. It's just not totally realistic yet. It works for those cities that are very concentrated in small areas, just like NYC and Chicago. It makes for moving around a lot easier, though you do spend a lot on cabs and such. And even though you're not driving, you can still get lost, trust us, he he he.
NFL kicks off tonight! Woohoo! Let's go LIONS, LET's GO!
