Chicago Getaway- March

Our friends were in town for a dental convention.  We visited in Milwaukee earlier in the week, but wanted to get away to enjoy a night in the big city.  Good food, swimming at the hotel, and enjoying a little quiet time to talk and catch up with old friends.

After a lot of work to get kids covered overnight (my parents had commitments both in the evening and morning, but they were happy to have them sleep overnight if we could get sitters for when they were busy) Nora ended up being sick.  Not bad enough to cancel our trip, just bad enough we couldn't leave her behind.

What was planned as a quiet getaway with eachother, turned into a family affair.  We don't seem to have great luck when we plan to go away for the night.  

I spent the evening at the hotel swimming with the kids, McDonalds for dinner, and a movie.  Dan went out to dinner, and came back to the hotel with our friends.
One thing we know how to do, is make the most out of a crummy situation.  We still had a great time and loved our little family getaway to the BIG CITY!
