A Big Trip
The weekend before Thanksgiving Vati and I went to Chicago for a little father/son vacay! No reason, really, just seemed like a good idea.
Our trip started a little inauspiciously as we missed our plane. But we quickly got back on track and arranged to get on the next flight. As you can see, that flight took place during my naptime, so I took advantage of the comfy seat. I fell asleep on the tarmac and didn't wake up until we started making our final descent. It was a good thing I woke up, though, since I was in charge of finding the blue train. Boy, did I love the train!
The night we took a bus to Mama and Vati's old 'hood and had dinner at Joy's Noodles. It was my first Pad Thai, but it won't be my last. The two gentlemen in the back told us they decided to eat at Joy's because I was so cute. Now that's a ringing endorsement! The next morning we went to the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum to see the butterflies. The rest of the time was spent eating, sleeping, and seeing old friends. We went to dinner in Greektown, visited my friend Tracy at the Heartland Cafe, ate some sushi, and saw Mama and Vati's pastor Greg.
We also visited Mama and Vati's old condo, where I spent 5 gestational months, although I don't remember that part.
One of the other highlights was going to a Dank Schule, a Saturday morning preschool program where I got to hear and speak German with other kids. Oh, and I didn't hate the part when I went to have dim sum with Uncle Dave.
But maybe may favorite part was staying in a hotel and sleeping in the big bed with lots of pillows. And even though it was the biggest bed I'd ever seen, I still somehow managed to find Vati and snuggle up with him for a good night's rest.
I hope we go back.
