We are Back!!

And glad to be home!! Lets just say it was a interesting trip. WE won't up Wednesday morning to a messy crib if you know what I mean (poo..)!! That must have started the downward spiral! WE drove to Chicago and then walked to Michigan Avenue just to sight see a bit the last time we were there it was November and snowing this time was much more enjoyable. After Michigan avenue we decided to go back to the hotel and then proceeded to go to Navy Pier 1.5 miles each way(woohoo got a workout in pushing a stroller)! Thursday was a late start we decided to go to the zoo but no one got out of bed until 9 so we got to the zoo around 1 but the weather was beautiful while we were there. The zoo was cool but Maggie wasn't really into it yet. She did like the penguin house and the seal exhibit!! They also had a working farm and she and daddy got to feed a cow! They had immediate hand washing facilities too! After the zoo we drove back to Hotel and then we went to dinner at The rainforest Cafe ...after that the girls(Emily and Elizabeth) went swimming and Brian and I worked out and Uncle Tony Arrived about 10 from New York. During the day on Thursday Linda and I started feeling bad and just not ourselves. Friday morning we got up packed and Ate breakfast Maggie is finally starting to feel better it seems... We leave and go to the boat docks and see Aunt Julie's Parents sail boat and then walk to Millennium Park (got some cool pics there)! For lunch we went to Ed Debevic's ( the wait staff have horrible attitudes on purpose)! Then we drove to Tony's for the rest of vacation in the suburbs. Tony made us dinner friday night, pork chops, veggies and an awesome spinach salad. Saturday we got up and are contiplating leaving early as we all feel miserable, we decide it would be better to say another day who knows what tomorrow will bring (a miracale cure I am praying)! We decide to make a run for Ikea and take tony's luggage with us (he is leaving for singapore)! So we head to Ikea and find some awesome deals if they had one here I would so be in trouble!! Then we have dinner with cousin rick at Finn McCools' (awesome Irish pub but didn't think to take my camera shopping)!! Anyway Sunday we drive home and and it was an uneventful ride thank goodness!!! Brian and I were still sick yesturday so instead of spreading germs we decide to have a sunday and take the day off and head to the DR! There we find out we have Viral Intestinal Flu !!! YUCK is all I can say!!! I hopefully will get my pics downloaded tonight since we are feeling better and the housework is almost caught up! Hope everyone is doing well!
