At the Elmhurst York

Chicago’s classic cinemas are cool. They’re reasonably priced and high quality. Some of them are in beautifully restored historic theaters. Today we saw Alice in Wonderland in 3D at the Elmhurst York.

Chicago's 2010 Saint Patrick's Day Parade
2010 Saint Patrick’s Day Chicago Parade

Two hours of waiting around for the 10 minutes of march’n madness handing out the green plastic hats. It was a little rainy, but not too cold. The spicy juice tailgating in the staging area helped to keep us warm. Avoiding the traffic riding the charter bus there and back was nice. After the parade, we attended a nice potluck.

Navy Pier ferris Wheel

Father’s Day – Navy Pier Style

Purchased the $24.00 parking, saw a pirate play, rode the Ferris Wheel, explored the pier, had lunch at Bubba Gump’s, rode the free downtown trolley shuttle, went to the Children’s Museum, built a bear, had Haagen Dazs ice cream, came home to the suburbs in bumper to bumper. A perfect Chicago day.

More pictures from the day in the photo gallery.

My Daughter's 1st Self Portrait

Daughter’s 1st Self Portrait

While I was in the shower this morning, my 6 year old answered my cel phone. While doing it, she took this self portrait of herself. Never showing her how to use my new phone, I was surprised that she figured it out on her own.
