Chicago-Day 1

We are back from Chicago safe and sound, thanks to 'Sassy' (our GPS). We had a wonderful time. I think I will share the events one day at a time so you can feel as though you were there...well kind of anyway. Our first day was spent travelling, swimming and dinner at Rainforest Cafe. Enjoy!

Jayna loves to swim so much that it didn't take her more than 30 minutes to throw her things in the room, change her clothes and get the rest of us down to the pool. She then jumped right in. She is a lot tougher than her mom because it was a little chilly. This was the outdoor pool. We had a great view of it from our room.
She had a ball swimming. I had to convince her that we needed dinner to get her out of the pool.
Autumn on the other hand is more like her mom...cold. She didn't stay in for more than 5 minutes. She has the look of torture on her face. This is how I felt too, but I love Jayna too much to not swim with her.
We then walked about 7 blocks or so to the Rainforest Cafe. The girls enjoyed looking at the animal displays, but they did not enjoy the noise. Also, Autumn had zero patience for sitting there and waiting. They did eat their dinners, but Grandma and I took ours in a box.
As we were about to go Jayna said, "Mom it is really raining outside." I replied with, "That is just a reflection of the inside. No wait, you are right it is really raining outside. Let's go get Grandma and find a way to our hotel." Well, we got Grandma and found a nice man to catch us a cab. We then all jumped in the cab while throwing all of our stuff in quickly. Needless to say, we still got drenched. Autumn was freezing the whole way back to the hotel. Jayna was uneasy about riding with this stranger. Grandma and I were laughing about the whole situation. What else are you going to do? I thought it was fitting to take a picture of the girls wet hair. By this time, Jayna found the situation comical as well. Day one ends. Stay tuned for day two.
