We just rolled in from Chicago. This has been a great holiday weekend....the last of the summer! Last Thursday afternoon we left for east side of the state to visit our daughter, Lisa. We hung out with her that evening and all day Friday, returning home late Friday night. On Sunday afternoon we took off for Chicago on an overnighter with our friends Jim and Sharon. We stayed downtown at the Sheraton, thanks to a great deal from Priceline. We met up with 2 young couples from Holland, on Sunday evening - enjoying a meal at the Cheesecake Factory - why can't we have a Cheesecake Factory closer to home? We also spent some time at the new Millineum Park on Michigan Avenue. If you have not yet visited this new park, it's worth the visit. We just missed seeing, the up and coming Illionois Democrat Senate candidate, Barak Obama, who was campaigning in Chicago.

I love big cities and my top four favorites in the USA are: New York, Chicago, San Diego, and Boston. There's something vibrant, exciting and alive about a big city. What's so amazing is how big cities like are so efficient in every way as they handle huge numbers of people daily and, seeminly, effortlessly.
