Hello, Norma Jean
The theme of the last two days really has been enjoying and appreciating Chicago in spite of itself. We continue to have incident after incident of difficulty traveling with Lilah on public transport. Today's adventures included finding ourselves with no way of getting out of the El station at Adams/Wabash not only because there were no elevators (of course), but also because all the exits involved turnstiles and we had the large stroller. Luckily we were able to find a maintenance worker to let us out of a side gate but we still had to haul the stroller down two flights of stairs. This is why we will purchase the rain cover for our frame carrier in the morning.
We took Lilah to Gleacher today to get her a Chicago Booth (nee GSB) onesie. Tomorrow we are going to go to the Hyde Park campus to see where Mama used to hang out and maybe get Lilah started on her economics education. We tried to go to the Art Institute but they no longer seem to have Free Admission Tuesdays so I will have to wait til next time to visit my favorite place here. After giving up on the museum (no time to wait in line) we hoofed it all the way to Union Station, carried the stroller down two flights of stairs and grabbed lunch before getting more grief from the ticket taker lady on the Metra who was not pleased with our stroller on her car of the train. Oh, all and of this today was done in the pouring rain.
Thankfully, our good friends and fellow GSBers in Downers Grove were kind enough to prepare us a home cooked meal and drive us back to the city afterwards. Our kids had a great time together and I fear Chris and Cheryl might be getting some special requests regarding a younger sibling...
Splish, Splash!

As for her and the boy, it was love at first sight so we are currently negotiating on if the wedding will occur in CA or here in Chicago and at what age we can start hounding them for grandchildren.
Oh My My My
