I don't get to Chicago very often, but when I do it's always so much fun. I love my daughter's new neighborhood; we're staying nearby in an AirBnB in fabulous Wicker Park. I'm looking forward to exploring the area tomorrow and Tuesday. I fly home on Wednesday.
It's been a long day. Began three states over in northern Ohio where I spent the night in a surprising little town on lake Erie. The day began with sparkling waters and a rosy sunrise. A shorter, more frustrating drive than yesterday's on a one-lane turnpike through northern Indiana. Arriving in Chicago was sudden, and before I knew it I was on the Skyway, the city's stunning skyline rising before me.
We unloaded the car and drove it to the airport to return it. Took the train back to the city and stopped at the store. Made surf 'n' turf with Caesar salad and ended the meal with Ben & Jerry's, a new flavor, Dirt Cake. It's my new obsession.
And now we're hanging out, watching a few episodes of True Blood and chit chatting. I'd really like to go to bed, but how can I when we're having so much fun?
