breakfast at the center - simon couldn't stay awake for the 9:00 am breakfast because he was up at 6:00 am.

boarding the plane for chicago - infant car seat one last time

eric attended the acadia conference while christie and simon played with kati and jeremy. eric celebrated his birthday once again in chicago. we visited the shed aquarium, the art institute of chicago, china town, millenium park, k & j's neighborhood - the ravenswood area (beautiful). what fun to visit with our friends.
