Windy City

Every year Gunar's company puts on a conference, and sometimes we are lucky enough to tag along.  It is a special chance for us to feel included in the part of his life that we miss out on, as Gunar's office is a roving commercial vessel.  The company recognizes our sacrifice and takes very good care of us.

This years events were held in downtown Chicago.  Part of the festivities included a trip to the Field Museum.  All of the families with children stuck together as we viewed treasures galore from gems and meteorites to mummies and dinosaur bones.  

We hiked around to experience the city a bit but found it over rated.  After a multi block trek in the drizzle to spot the latest Lego kit and American Girl doll, our true joy was found riding escalators all the way up and then all the way down in the Watertower Mall.  Apparently, we are not big shoppers.
