I guess my favorite Chicago photos are on my other computer, so I'll have to post some awesome Chicago photos later once I find them on the other computer.
We went to Chicago for our anniversary. Amazing we are celebrating our 7th anniversary since I still have nightmares/motion sickness from our wedding. It was a hot hot hot day. The bride was 30 minutes late and was almost a no show with heat stroke. After the bride arrived, was thrown into a hot long dress, the wedding started. It was a beautiful entrance by everyone, the bride could be seen peeking in at everyone. For the few moments it took to be walked into the church, I should have taken another lap. It was a beautiful wedding. I'd love to repeat the ceremony if I had new friends to invite, and if I was able to buy a beautiful skinny wedding dress. Maybe for my 20th. :) We'd like to upgrade our wedding rings at year 10.
So we went to Chicago to see King Tut at the museum. I thought it would be so cool. I saw it, and wonder why I didn't enjoy it more. I guess I'd prefer to see it without a gob of people standing in the way. I was lucky if I could even see some of the exhibits without having someone stand in my view, step on my feet, or bump into me. No cameras or strollers are allowed in the exhibit, so Alex free to run doesn't make my $25 price worth it for me. No stroller should mean DISCOUNT for parents!
We saw my friend, Freda while we were there. Of course she was 2 hours late getting to the museum....and we waited for her. It didn't say anywhere outside the museum that if you didn't but the tickets in advance that the King Tut exhibit would sell out by 12noon. So we were tickets numbers 45, 46, 47 sold out of 50. I would have freaked if the tickets would have sold out.
The next day we went to Chinatown in Chicago. I've never even been to Chinatown. Funny, I had a boyfriend THE ENTIRE time I was in Chicago, but saw nothing--and went no where. I guess I should have hooked up with different ones. I have no regrets, except that I wished I could have enjoyed more of Chicago when I was "in" Chicago. I doubt many outsiders know their way around Chicagoland like John and I do.
Rachel seemed to like Chinatown, but she didn't want to talk Chinese. I think she was afraid to speak Chinese to them. I think she was afraid that they would find out she loved us and would take her away or something. Who knows. She loves looking at Chinese things, but just doesn't want to speak it anymore. Oh well....
well that's enough for now
