Off to Chicago!

Last year our family went to Myrtle Beach.
This year,
my wife and the kids wanted to go to Chicago.
Why Chicago?
None of us has ever been to Chicago
- although I've been through it - without stopping.
And it's not real far for us,
so we won't be buying a lot of gas.

As I said,
my wife and the kids wanted to go to Chicago.
I don't mind going, but there's other places I'd rather go.
The boys are in awe of everything
that's cities and skyscrapers.
In other words, architecture.
My wife loves big cities
and I'm sure will love shopping in Chicago.
We thought about going to NYC or DC,
but we don't want to overwhelm the kids at this age.
We wanted to try a smaller city first on them.
If they love Chicago, I'd like to take them to DC.
DC's great and I'm sure they'd love it...
if they don't get real tired
and start to whine in the first 10 minutes!

So, we're packing now
and leaving tomorrow morning.
I won't be blogging for several days.
I'll post when I get back to say how it went.
