Vacation Pictures

Over Spring Break I took the boys to Chicago. On the way there we missed our exit due to road construction. It took me about 45 mins. out of the way. We have an hours difference with Indiana so we started our an hour ahead anyhow. So we could afford to lose those 45 mins. Once in Chicago we settled in the hotel. They just had to go swimming the moment we arrived. I figured out how to get to the theater while they played in the pool. They want a hot-tub now...(ME TOO).

Before the show we ate at one of our favorite restaurants, Friday's...luckily it was on the hotel property...can you say "EASY". I am so glad because driving in Chicago could drive a person to drink!!! I took a picture of the boys at the restaurant. Why do they always have to give me the "prison pose"? Especially Tiernon...they really nerves me.

We had to wait in the lobby for about 45 minutes. They had PVC pipes and laundry vent tube with other tubing all around the lobby. They used it as megaphones. You could talk to someone clear on the other side of the lobby. It was cool. The boys had lots of fun. Once in the theater you couldn't take pictures, but I got a quick one of them coming out. Tiernon looks so tired...lol. The white stuff around their heads was a time waster...they passed it out so the Blue Men could change sets...and people could stand...there was no intermission. The plastic ponchos were to protect our clothing. We were in the fourth row.


These two pictures were taken after the show. The one with the blue man was cute, McKayle ~ the clown he is ~ tried to get him to talk...but he didn't break character. The lady in the other picture was an audience member who did a skit with the Blue Men...she was so good everyone thought she was an actress. Her facial expressions were priceless. The Blue Men were worth the money...(still keeping that price a secret from Reggie...SHHHH!)

That was the end of our first day. We got back to the hotel around 11:30pm. We got up the next day and went downtown. I will write about that tomorrow. It is getting late. Good Night!!
