Change of Plans

Although we were booked to stay in Sandusky, OH until Mon., we realized the majority of our group was heading out Sunday. We followed suit and skipped the last night to head to Chicago. Lucian got us there pretty quickly and I secured a hotel room from my phone as we drove into the city. We caught a late dinner at one of Lucian's favorite restaurants, Shaw's Crab House, and walked around Tribune Tower looking at all the cool stones set into the building from around the world. There were stones from ivy league schools, the Egyptian pyramids, the great wall of China and just about everything in between. Claire thought it was pretty cool too.


We rested up and headed to breakfast in the morning by way of Millennium Park. We stopped at the Bean played in the fountain and enjoyed walking through the gardens. We headed to Uptown for Vietnamese food as we departed the city and made it home around dinner time. It was a great little detour filled with some
quality family time. It's rare we can hold Spencer captive for 4 days straight. I think he was ready to go back to sleeping in until at least 10am after waking up with the munchkins at 6:30 or 7am daily.
