The Windy City

We have been in Grand Rapids, Michigan for a while and will spend the rest of the holidays here. However, we left for three days and visited Chicago. We stayed right next to my old stomping grounds (the now defunct, Northwestern University Dental School), on Lake Shore Drive at the W Hotel. The W Hotel is quite sexy and modern especially for a family that lives in a van, but they welcomed Bo...



We got to see the Ryans and were surprised by Wayne's old volleyball buddies, Pat and Susan. It was great to be back in Chi-town and the boys loved the Field Museum (we saw Sue, a T-Rex) and the Shedd Aquarium (amazing every time). On our last day, we went up to Andersonville for breakfast to get Swedish pancakes and cinnamon rolls at Ann Sathers (yummy). And we went to the Swedish Bakery to visit my favorite cake, although we only left with a box of cookies...


I miss Chicago (snowstorms and all), but I think Wayne was only a little sentimental (he did meet his wife there after all).
