This will be a quick post just to say that we made it to Chicago as planned on Thursday morning. We didn't think the flights looked good for standby but there's always a chance, especially if you go early. After all the stress of last minute packing and shuffling off to the airport, it was so nice to hear them say we had seats. Yay! So Nacho joined us for the first two days and we've been dragging Elisa over hill and dale, catching up with good friends and eating way too much. We visited Rick Bayless's restaurant Xoco for its take on Mexican street food, and this morning I had an amazing brunch at Southport Grocery and Cafe. And we've been watching lots of soccer. Go Spain! Go USA! Unfortunately, this trip seemed to coincide with a little onset of sniffles for the girl, so she hasn't been sleeping well at all. And the napping on the go thing has never been her strong suit, so you can imagine how well she's been adapting to things. Um...yeah. But tonight we're hanging out with Maggie and her family so we're putting the kids to bed early and hoping for the best. Here's to enjoying the last day in Chicago and seeing how well we can do on the flight back. Ah, the adventure of travel...More photos coming soon!!
