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.

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!
