Chicago!

We just returned from a nice trip to Chicago to visit Patrick's family.... it was great - family, good weather, fabulous food (italian beef sandwiches, and hot dogs... yum!).... all was wonderful except the fact that Spirit Airlines lost my luggage on the way there and I didn't get it for over half of the trip. Of course it had to be my suitcase - complete with Paige's clothes in there too.... the best part is that Spirit has like ZERO customer service... when I asked what I was supposed to do for clothing for my daughter and myself they simply said, "We do not reimburse for the first 24 hours, then after taht you can buy a cheap pair of underwear, a toothbrush, and deodrant and then you can file a claim for those and they will "most likely" reimburse you.... LOVELY... right? Of course I had to go out and buy new stuff for us... including dresses for his Grandparents Surprise 50th Anniversary party! Thankfully I like to shop, so that was not a problem for me! :)

Overall, it was a great trip. We went to the Lincoln Park Zoo (loved this!), the Shedd Aquarium, and enjoyed some time with Patrick's family whom we haven't seen in 3 years! And we thoroughly enjoyed all the terrific food that Chicago has to offer!

Kristi, too bad about the luggage, but at least you made the best of it and went shopping. :) So glad to see you posting again. You look great! Paige is such a cutie.

Oh my! I would have lost it on them. But, at least you got it back and you got new clothes too boot. I think you came out ahead. :) Paige is getting so big! My goodness!
