April '07 -This month we took a trip to Chic
ago. Aaron and I had a Dental course that we were going to be taking for three days. My mom said that she would watch the kids for us. I have never left them that long before, so I was having a hard time with that idea. After looking on-line for plane tickets we found a really great deal and decided that it would be even more fun if we all went to Chicago. We had a really early flight so you can see my dad, Lexy and Nathan admiring the big plane while we were waiting to board. This was Nathan's first plane ride, but Lexy was a pro. Aaron and I were able to do a little sight seeing , but my parents and the kids were really able to enjoy Chicago. They went to Navy Pier, the Children's museum (multiple times), the zoo, a great park by the water, and the aquarium. Aaron and I really enjoyed our course and w
e also snuck in a trip to the aquarium and Children's museum. We had a few "firsts" on this trip. I had never flown on an airplane with my dad, and it was the first time the kids and I had ever ridden in a Taxi. Also, Nathan had never slept in a room with anyone else and he and Lexy slept in the same room. It was an adjustment, but both of the kids were great. Our room was on the tenth floor. Nathan and Lexy loved to sit up by the window and look down at the ground and at all the really tall buildings around us. It was really cold the day we arrived - we actually saw little snow flurries -(even flurries are exciting for us Floridians). It warmed up a little each day and was gorgeous for the remainder of our trip. We had such a fun time. We would love to go again and would recommend it to anyone.
