Guess Who's Back...

Small hiatus has ended and I'm back.  Vacation was an all around success.  We had a great time in Chicago with the kiddos and my brother-in-law and his girlfriend.  Finally got to take Evan to "The Bean" at Millennium Park, which was cool.  It was very sunny, and very hot that day and we walked for miles and miles it seemed.  Everyone was a champ about it.  We only had to piggy-back Kendall for a little while, other than that it was just fun to walk and people watch.

We finally, after what seemed like days, made it to the beach (Ohio Street).  The kids absolutely LOVED it, swimming in the lake, which appears to be a damn ocean.  Just a trip to have what looks like an ocean view on one side, and high rises on the other, very cool.  After a while, we headed out and went to Navy Pier and got some lunch.  Then we decided to try to eliminate some of the walking and hopped on board a River Taxi to get us closer to the train station.  It was a long day, a tiring day, but everyone enjoyed it and can't wait to do it again. 

That evening we decided to go to Home Run Inn Pizza.  If you have never had Home Run Inn pizza, I'm sorry for you.  If you can find one in the freezer section at the grocery store give it a try, you will like it.  Having one fresh from the oven, at an actual pizzeria, was awesome. 

More to come...
