We're back from our train trip to Memphis and Chicago, and will be sharing our adventure in the next few days. It's a gift to be able to spend so much time together as a family.
Some highlights: Seeing my cousin and her family in Tennessee (her son fell in love with Elliot), walking the "length" of the Mississippi River via Mud Island, seeing beluga whales up close and personal at Shedd Aquarium, getting lost on the "L," getting completely hosed in Millineum Park(a real "funniest video" moment), and travelling on Amtrak with the kids. The large bag of toys, books on tape, and surprises was a waste of space (except maybe Sesame Street UNO). The nuance of train travel wasn't lost on any of us.
Coming home is a bit stressful...thinking of all the work I left behind, and how much there is to do, not to mention the bags of dirty laundry. I felt like as soon as I really started to get my bearings around Chi-town and relax it was time to go. That's how it is with travelling, I guess. Our next scheduled outing is to the beach in a condo in August. The furthest we'll be travelling is up and down the elevator to the ocean and pool. What a relief.
