Something about the windy city

You know I am actually excited about something. Most of you who know me know that I don;t get real "worked up" (happy excited) over a whole lot, but I am going to Chicago next week with the family. We got the reservations tonight and of we are going. We're only spending a couple of days there, but boy it will be nice to see all the family again. Besides none of them have met my boy Clayton yet.

It'll be nice to go back home again. There is something about that place that just makes me feel good. Don't get me wrong. Tucson is my adopted home, but there is just something about Chicago (Zion) that makes me want to go there as often as possible.

It'll be good. I have told everyone it is most likely our last pleasure visit there for a while. I wanted to go before anyone passes away. I know that sounds a little morbid but it is reality. I'd really kick myself if I missed the opportunity to see my family before anything happened. Besides like I said it will be good for everyone to meet Clayto and Camille.

At first it I began planning all sorts of trips and things to do. museums, the loop, going to Carthage (about 6 hours away) then it hit me we're only going to be there for four days, there will barely be enough time to see the family let alone all the sites. I do plan to take the fam into the city though it will be fun.

I'll throw some pics on of the trip just as soon as we have them.
