| Eating High above the City |
The first weekend of October, Mommie, Daddy and I flew to Chicago to visit Mimi and Papa. It was my second flying trip, and I behaved myself very well. On the way up, I slept on Daddy for most of the flight! When we arrived in Chicago, Mimi and Papa met us in the airport, then we drove to their apartment. They live on the 30th floor of an apartment along Lake Shore drive. With all the windows, there are great views of the city. Daddy didn't get too close to the windows because he's afraid of heights. I must not have inherited his fear because I loved crawling right up to the windows and banging on them. I also enjoyed chasing Bonnie, their cat, around the apartment.

The main activity on the trip was relaxing and enjoying the unseasonably warm weather. We went for a lot of walks around the city. The highlight was touring the Driehaus Museum, a restored Gilded age mansion. I quietly took in the ornate tiles, intricate glass work, and period furniture. We almost got to see the entire house before I got cranky and let everyone know that I was done with the museum.
We also visited Millenium park, Michigan avenue, and Olive park. I got to spend lots of time with Mimi and Papa. They took care of me while M&D went to the Museum of Science and Industry and put me to bed when they went out to dinner with friends who live in Chicagoland. I hope that I get to visit Chicago when I'm older and can walk and see even more.
