Vacation Through the Camera Lens

Day 1: Visiting the family

The 5 Yo ran away from the dog, the 2 YO could have been the dog's lunch.


Da 2: The Brookfield Zoo

This polar bear had an amazing talent of stopping mere humans dead in their tracks to waste minutes upon minutes of their lives while he played with toys and swam.



Day 3: Shedd's Aquarium
Where my son begged all day long to see "the su-su-suber-super guy, I mean the scuba diver, in the big fish tank!!"

Next Stop: Giordano's Pizza and a concert in Millennium Park.

Day 4: The guys took the kids to the Museum of Science and Industry and the Sears Tower while the girls went shopping on Michigan Avenue. They dropped us off 2 miles north of where the van would be, thinking we would meander down Michigan Ave. as we shopped. At 4:30 p.m. we were one block from where we were dropped off. Oops, bad planning.



Day 5, 6, and 7: Mike and Vicki's house. The kids swam and played, the adults hung out like old times.
Day 7: Decatur Children's Museum


Day 8: And finally, a stop at the T-Rex Cafe in Kansas City on the way home.
