Look Out Chicago!! We're BACK!!!!

We have arrived in the Windy City! Windy doesn't really define the airplane landing so much in Midway. It was the part when we were coming in that freaked me out .... where I started moaning, clutching the seat in front of me and almost crying that made me realize we were back. I kind of thought "maybe" the pilot wanted to cartwheel in instead of landing on the wheels. For this is the reason I hate landing in planes. I mean, truly hate ... hate isn't strong enough really.

We took the Orange Line in. I sat on a seat with a heater so about half way into the city, the backs of my legs and butt were so stinking hot I had to move. I thought I should not have sweat on the back of my knees! So I moved and we got off only to find 30's in the face! We huddled and walked quickly to the Corner Bakery, our all time favorite hang out. We watched the sights, had a sandwich and coffee. Scott even walked across the street and got us two chocolate covered strawberries to have with our coffee because I was craving it from Fannie Mae!

We then walked 9 blocks (we had to burn some calories for dinner at Wild Fire tonight) and arrived at the apartment. We are on the 31st floor with amazing views, even better than last year. I was looking out the windows and you can't help but be curious. For instance, you see all these windows and couches and rooms and one building close by has a fire going in the gas fireplace. I suddenly found myself wishing I had binoculars! Isn't that terrible? I just could go from lit window to lit window and look at the decor and make up stories about each one. It is my Aunt Peggy's fault .... she used to drive me around on the interstate when I was little and she would make up funny stories about the people in the car that we were driving next to!!!!

Anyway, we are off to dinner .... looks cold out there! Will write more as the weekend goes on ... sure hope I don't have stories like last year!! :)
