Chicago

12 - 14 April 2023

On Wednesday, we took the red-eye from Honolulu to Chicago, landing at 6 A.M. This was the worst flight of the entire trip, Anthony slept a couple of hours but Julie didn’t sleep at all. We went to our friends Lisa and Mike’s house in Deerfield and had a 2 hour nap. We took the train back into Chicago to see the Cubs play the Mariners. We had lunch at the Cubby beer, where Julie made a new friend.

On Thursday, Lisa, Mike, Anthony and Julie went down to Navy Pier for an Architecture Boat Cruise up the Chicago River. It was a beautiful day for a boat ride, and we saw a century of architectural history.

After the boat ride, and a memorable ride down Lower Wacker Drive, we met Ann and Jim in Western Springs for dinner and a mini Alpha Gamma Delta reunion.

On the way back to Deerfield, we swung by the house Julie spent her first five years. We crossed Wolf Road on the drive there.

Our trek in Chicago, thanks to Mike for driving us around.

That’s the end of Phase One! Thanks for sharing it with us. Stay tuned for Phase 2.
