Chicago Trippin!

Elissa and I cashed in some Alaska Air miles to go back to Chicago for a couple of days last week, to see Vanessa's play (directed by Paul Holmquist) called The Constant Wife. We had a great whirlwind time, eating Chicago pizza, walking around, seeing Vanessa's studio, and hanging out.

Nails for the ladies

Girls in Chicago. We landed today at O'Hare and Vanessa picked us up. All set for a week of Thanksgiving in Chicago. Home of the Field Museum, the Bears, Mike Ditka, Ditka's Restaurant, The Apple Store, American Girl Place, Oprah Winfrey, Phil Donohue, Navy Pier, The Berghoff (?), Millennium Park, and Barack Obama.

Excellent dinner tonight reconnecting with Nessa and Paul -- painting toenails, being crazy. Tomorrow we go downtown for the city delights.
