| | MONUMENTAL TRIP to CHICAGO :-)So last week I took Connie to Chicago for her Spring Break...and as some/many of you know, it was quite an eventful trip  I'll start the entry with the biggest news...through pics of course
 
 
Connie and I are now engaged  It was a great time in the windy city...the whole thing was a surprise
for her. I planned the entire trip...the flights, the hotel rooms at
the Renaissance near O'Hare...and also the early morning knock on the
door with a tray of breakfast in my hands with a little red box
underneath the coffee mug which she lifted up herself and found in
amazment her engagement ring Its a pretty quick one run on sentence
of the way it happened but I guess it gives a good picture
So now to a picture show about the rest of the trip
 
Connie's suite/room in the Reinassance by O'Hare
 
Chicago-style hot dogs. I dont ever remember having one of these when I was there
 
Inside the field museum. Me laying on the Egyptian...cot?
 
 
 
We liked how the lizards seem to be looking at us as well when we took the pics! 
 
Two of our favorite animals. Doesnt the snapping turtle look nuts?
 
This is the view of the city from the observatory on the 96th floor of the Hancock building Ina, it was great to see you after so many years! Thanks so much for taking Connie and I around downtown and showing us the "Gold Coast." You're great...hurry up and move out to California...ha!
 
Connie and I waiting at an L station below the city Part of the Chicago experience. Although it may look like food...that pic was taken in a SOAP shop The shop is touted to be a favorite of big name celebrities.
