The kids were out of school Thurs. and Fri. last week so we decided we were overdue for a little road trip. We drove to Chicago and stayed downtown for two nights. We stayed in a nice hotel with a very nice pool. I think the swimming was the kids' favorite part. We squeeze into a room with two queen beds-that means 3 to a bed. I told Kyle that this won't last forever. Very soon we will need connecting rooms. Eden has been taking swim lessons for the last few months so it was fun to see her improvement. Everything was VERY crowded!! We went to the Field Museum on Fri. and the Shedd Aquarium on Sat. The Aquarium was where the huge line was and it was just PACKED inside. We had a great time at both and saw some very interesting things. We ate at the Rainforest Cafe (Eden was afraid of all the robotic animals) and at Hardrock Cafe. When we lived in England we took a lot of fun trips as a family and haven't had much time to do that since we moved back - we have all missed that. Beckett was slightly temperamental. He is at the age when he wants to be down and free. I think next time we will leave him at home with grandparents!
