We've been here for a day and half so far. The weather has been great, except for the notorious wind Chicago is known for. Im sure the locals think its nothing, but its a bit of a nuisance since we've been dealing with lots of wind back in Denver this early spring.
Yesterday we went to the Lincoln Park Zoo, which is a free zoo. I suppose its good for kids and people to see animals they normally wouldnt, but my own opinion leans towards its a pretty damn nasty place of a zoo. The big animals were pacing back and forth in their cages. The stench of feces and urine was everywhere. The sea lion "pool" was more like a toilet. In the underground viewing area I could see trash in the pool, straws and garbage floating in the water and other debris that shouldnt be there. In the end, it wasnt the best experience for me, but the kids had fun, and I suppose thats what matters.
Afterwards we split up and the kids went over to their Aunt's place and slept and ate. I chilled in the room trying to catch up on sleep and let the drugs wear off from the day before. Those things are evil!
The evening was pretty chill. We had dinner with Grandma and Aunt then came back to the hotel and the kids passed out with little to no effort. They slept so well, mom and I were so proud of them.
Today is family breakfast day with some friends of the family and this place called "Waffles"...not quite sure what they sell(pun intended), then easter egg painting and Seder dinner at Grandmas.
Ok, off to get ready and hit the road again!
...boots out.
