May

Chuck and I started out this month going to Chicago, Chuck had a class. We had 5 days with out the kids. This was my first time leaving Carly for longer then a day. When we first got there it was raining. We jumped on the "L" and headed down town for some PIZZA. The best, with a corn meal crust and fresh chunky tomato sauce. The deep dish took 45 minutes to cook. It was only 9 inch pizza and we couldn't finish it. I will never look at pizza the same after having that. We then headed for Navy Pier. It was cold and rainy. What do you expect for the windy City. We headed back to the hotel.

The next day we headed back out, but it was SUNNY and Warm! This was the last day that we could do a lot of looking around.

We first went to.....

Chuck in front of the Chicago River.

We went back out to Navy Pier. We wanted some pictures. We also had some great hot dogs . They were yummy.
This is the BEAN in Millennium Park. It was way cool . It's a reflective ball. We took several pictures of ourselves in it. We continued to walk around. All of Chicago. Before dinner we went to Sears tower. We went up 103 floors.
This is the view out the window. It was really neat up there. There were windows all the way around. The next day I laid out by the pool and read "Sarah Quilt", good book. It was so nice, in the mid 80's. That night we went to Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. I loved looking at all of the music memorabilia. Food was good to. The next day I continued to read and then we went to a movie. This theater was brand new and HUGE. It was only $10 for the BOTH of us. We saw Ironman, GOOD. Had a good dinner. I finished my book and started "Twilight". This was a GREAT book. I'm hooked. I'll be reading the rest of the series.

We came home and we were so happy to see the kids. It was a great break. Now we are preparing to leave this weekend for a wedding at Cooper's Spur. Then off to Disney world in June. Can't wait for that.
