cleaner than NYC

We aimed to leave around 9pm on Thursday night and to pull an all-nighter to drive 12 hours and arrive early in Chicago Friday morning. I drove the first 4 hours and slept for the next 8. I got the good driving shift.

Friday: Shedd Aquarium

Saturday: Field Museum and Navy Pier

Sunday: Art Institute and Shopping and Dinner with MJ

I don't have any pictures from this day, 
but that doesn't mean that it 
wasn't eventful. In the morning we dropped

Caleb off at the corner of the Art Institute and 

said "SEE YA LATER" and Mom and I 

went shopping! Later we met back up

and went to dinner at Tavern on Rush.

Little did we know that this was Michael

Jordan's *favorite* restaurant in town and happened

to be there only about 5 tables away from us.

!celebrity sighting!

Monday: Lincoln Park Conservatory and Zoo and Millennium Park and Wendella Boat ride

Tuesday: Driving ALL day home

chi-city

This is where I am headed for the next 5 days with Caleb.

Chi-town, HERE WE COME!

Hopefully, I will be able to get some great

pictures with my new camera!

new toy

This weekend my dad got a new camera and therefore I inherited his [old] camera AND my Papa (grandfather) was generous enough to give me some of his [old] lenses.

Here it is!

What can I say?

I'm in love.
