ChiTown

We started our Friday off right. We left at about 10am for Chicago and made really good time. For those of you who don't know we planned a night away to see Uncle Just off! He leaves today for Hawaii for his medical rotation. He will be back in about 6 weeks.

As soon as we got to the city we picked up Just and headed to whole foods. Deb and Dave had never been there and we wanted them to see it. Auntie Mims really didn't get the excitement all over my face when we walked into "that" grocery store. lol!

But she managed to have fun as always......she tried to make her own peanut butter but didn't like that taste...


then Deb made a trail mix for all of us to munch on....it was pretty good....



I, of course, had to get myself cereal! I think I could live off cereal....especially organic raisin bran...


While we shopped in Whole Foods the guys just went to the bar.....Yes, this whole foods has a bar in it so they were more than happy to do some beer tasting....Needless to say, we did not hear from them the WHOLE time we shopped!




We were finally done with our little excursion....so we rounded up the boys at the bar


I know, I'm a total nerd in this one holding up my Whole Foods bag...lol!


Friday night Uncle Just took us to Club Lucky for some fine Italian cuisine and mighty fine it was.....



Then it was time to hang out at Just's place for a bit....Grey loves the drum set they have...







Before we picked up Uncle Just we stopped at Cabela's and Papa Davey bought Grey this remote control skunk. It was his entertainment for the night! It lifted its tail and everything...



Grammy Deb showin' him how to work it



We stayed at the Hilton in Chicago and they had an area of Kennedy posters and different pictures. If Nate told me once he told me a MILLION times that he wanted me to get some pics of him in front of them. The big History Buff that he is!


It was hard to get a good shot....there was that glare even with NO flash



Our view from our room of the lake


He's still looking at the Kennedy's


They also had OBAMA and that was a whole other story


and then there was this NUT who asked if I would take her picture...lol!



Trying to get a family pic in the windy/COLD city





Grey would NOT sit in the stroller for anything.....he was as happy as a lark walking around in the city....





He was so happy walking that when we picked him up for a family pic he had a mind snap but we still captured that too!


Then it was time to say our goodbye's to Uncle Just!

We were giving the "Hawaiian sign"

ALOHA baby!
