Chicago weekend

We took a weekend getaway to Chicago over spring break for some much-needed time in the city. We spent A LOT of time at museums, had tons of fun playing in the pool with their cousins, and Ross and I got a night on the town (OMG Cuban food!). Now we're all in withdrawal, missing cousins and my sister, missing cities, and trying to catch up on sleep. These days a good vacation means we come home needing a nap, and that's just fine with me.

As we were driving out of the city, heading back home, Charlie said, "Daddy, drive faster! Why are all of those cars in our way?" Ross answered, "That's called traffic, Charlie." He is growing up in a place without traffic jams and commutes. We will miss Chicago, but it is good to go home.
