We had a great week in Chicago! This will be a quick installment and then we will probably be off the radar for a bit. This coming week we will be in a small town: Napoleon, Ohio. We are on our way to Marietta to meet up with our two oldest kids, their families, and other various family members for an early Christmas celebration.
This week we had a blast doing daily outings. We went back to the House of Blues, which is a great place for some live music and a tasty bite. We went twice to the Den Theater. We saw a one-man show called “Charles Dickens Begrudgingly Performs ‘A Christmas Carol’ Again” and we also saw two Colombian comedians. Both were fun. We spent hours at the Griffin Museum of Science and Industry and we especially enjoyed the special exhibit about tech in the James Bond films. We ate tacos, more Mexican food, & Egyptian food. We attempted to have Raclette (ooey gooey cheese on a piece of bread) at the Christmas Market, but the line was laughably long, so we skipped it. We also did a day trip to Milwaukee. We wandered around town, ate bratwursts, and bought a lot of cheese. What more do you do in Wisconsin?
It’s been a great week and we enjoyed it a lot. We really can’t wait to get all six grandkids together for the first time. Have a good one!
We Are Family
If we were done with our travels, I would take the next two weeks to relate our adventures in Romania and Switzerland. But we have more things coming up, so this is going to be a longer post. I’ll give you the highlights first, and then you can read on if you want more details.
Slower, With a British Accent
We’ve been in London since we left the cruise ship. This week was a bit slower and a welcome break from the last six weeks of constant movement. We’ve had some fun, eaten some good food, caught up on sleep, and made plans for the summer.
Baltic Beauty
The last post was all about the first half of our cruise and now I’ll tell you about the rest. We stopped in Helsinki, Tallinn, and Kristiansand and there was another unexpected change of plans.
