C-H-I-C-A-G-O

Most who know me, KNOW I love this city!!! For Mother's Day Larry took us to Chicago for a quick visit. Although a quick viist, we're not short on pictures and this is just a small sampling of our pictures...

Our most favorite hotel...Omni Chicago~ Mom and Robby up on ledge above the bed in our room.

Tommy making a phone call already...

Robby liked this view so much, we made him a bed and he slept up on that shelf/ledge above our bed!

We visited the Sears Tower, I'd never been and Larry had childhood memories of visiting it and wanted to take the family there.
Kids at the top of the Tower...

and Mom and Dad at the Top too...

Kimberlyn left her mark on Top of the Sears Tower...somehow she shoved her PENNY in the view finder of this viewer....ugh, you'd thought it were her favorite stuffed animal we left there!

Tommy wanted to go on the carriage ride, while Daddy got this adorable picture of the girls peaking out the window, Tommy spilled fruit punch on my SHOE and I realized he came with a bad odor...he and his poo-poo butt had to go to the room with Daddy and Robby!
Waving bye-bye... By the way, Robby had a cool new book about making paper airplanes he rather look at than go on a carriage ride. Last time we stayed at the Omni was for Kaitlyn's 8th birthday which she was ill for, Kaitlyn wanted to ride in the horse drawn carriage BUT it was too cold for her to handle it.

One very TALL statue!

Millennium Park!

Mama loves her tulips...
Very interesting mirrored-like jelly bean structure....can make one feel dizzy almost going through all the pictures Larry took here!
The family in the mirror with a reflection of the city!

under the center looking straight up...



Don't even think for a second this was to be of me :) Larry thinks this building is cool! I do think the picture came out very nice!

Another reason for the visit was Garrett's Popcorn~

We learned we weren't the only ones that traveled so far for popcorn! We were told they opened at 10am, we arrived a bit before and decided to WAIT...until a worker walking in told me they didn't open until ELEVEN!! While waiting for at least 10 minutes we saw MANY just walk by after realizing it was closed. We came backa few minutes before 11am to find THIS LINE!!! We pressed on to lunch, and returned later for our popcorn. So upon our third time arriving at Garrett's we got some super YUMMY popcorn!!

Cute shot of Kimberlyn and Daddy!

A frustrated and tired Kaitlyn and Robby....this was BEFORE the rain and HAIL- OH MY, we had fun!
