Trip to Chicago
Let me first tell you how happy I am that my brother Doug lives 1) live so close and 2) it's on the North Side of Chicago. If I had to drive through any part of Chicago, I'd never go to see him. N-E-V-E-R.
Anyway, last Friday I took a "Mental Health Day" and headed down to Chicago for a quick trip to visit Doug. It was great. We walked around the city for the entire day: The Zoo, the Botanical Gardens, shopping, and we ended the visit going out with Doug's new friends (he's a fast moving social butterfly). My camera died just after the Lincoln Park Zoo, but enjoy the animal pictures:
I was hoping to have the day to myself to tinker around the house, but now I believe it was better spent with him. We had a great time together and I hope to get back soon.

Hi Kids,
Thanks for sharing the pics. You do an excellent job taking them.
We do appreciate the blog.
Love to you both,
Dad Mouras
Sounds like a great day. Wish we lived closer, miss all of you.
Love, Mom C
P.S. Hi Keith and Denise!
What fun to go to the zoo! It's a great one! You must take Matthew with you sometime as I am sure he doesn't remember going there as a child. Thanks for your postings!
