Our "babies" are 2 now and I am finally seeing the next frontier heading my way. We are not yet ready for a day at the Art Institute but soon enough! Looks like it was a fantastic day!

I was able to see the Winslow Homer/Edward Hopper exhibit. Heaven! It IS easier to haul a kid around once they get older! Mine is now 4 1/2 and I don't mind taking her places now that she can do so much for herself. I was just at the Art Institute last month during my first visit to Chicago!

Notice I hit the wrong number, should be 19 great grands, not ten. Ten have had train rides. Errata. Notice I hit the wrong number, should be 19 great grands, not ten. Ten have had train rides.

We've had 12 rides to San Diego with the grands. Now we've had a whole bunch with the greats, can't recall now how many. All the older ones, with Ellie as the exception? Well, with 10 of the, there are plenty of train rides yet to go. Sorry you missed Luke. Glad your kids get the train ride, Sorry I can’t be there to take them.

It's really great that your both artists and can explain the art to your kids. Man, I can't wait for those years you're talking about, though Amelia's pretty darn cute now.

We also live in the Chicago area and like to take the Metra downtown. In the summer we spend a lot of time at the zoos and Navy Pier. I'm hoping to make it to more museums this summer. Take care!

It looked like a blast - isn't it nice to get out of the everyday routine and go see all that the city has to offer? I’m glad you had a fabulous time with the kids!
