Chi-Town

Well, the trip had it's ups and downs.

John and I had a communication issue... ending up with Rori not having any shoes with us. So no toddling.

Still, the girls thoroughly enjoyed our run down to the Disney Vacation Blub presentation and the dance party with the Fab Five afterward. We have video. ;-) Rori actually refused ice cream in favor of strawberries, to the delight of the staff.

*sigh*

I want my DVC. So close.... and yet... so far.

We bought an I-pass in Schaumburg. Called to activate - we were told 30 minutes for IL, 24 h for Indiana. Meantime, went to call Sarafina and could not find her number.

Rori came apart from lack of sleep, so I didn't really have time to shop at Janie and Jack or Hannah Anderson to speak of. John went into The Art of Shaving, and came out with the conclusion that he knows nothing about shaving, considering he's been doing it for years.

On the way back, the *@#&^$*@^%#$ I-pass wouldn't work. But finally home, and the basement at least is nice and cool. John had put the girls' air conditioner in before we left, and we'd turned it on, so their rooms were pretty decent.

We put ours in tonight, and our room should be OK by now.

I did get the whitework cap 50% done on the trip. Pictures and articles soon.

Koln/Kleves/Westphalia article about 1/2 done.

Time for bed!

We'll just have to plan another time. Did you find my number or do you need me to send again?

Ran across a citation to this article and thought I would be remiss if I didn't mention it:
