We got a late start this morning because Jack was taking care of a little admin ... he got our plane tickets for Rome for next summer! We were so inspired by our visit to Eataly that we decided to bite the bullet and take the kids to Italy next summer! There may be 17 reasons between now and then for us not to go but we've got the tickets now, so we're committed!
Once we got that little bit of business taken care of, we rolled over to a large, beautiful playground near the lakeshore and let the kids bang around and get good and tired before lunch. This helps to guarantee a quite stroll down the lakeshore while everyone eats and (hopefully) Natalie naps. Well, all went according to plan and we strolled all the way downtown in peace. We stopped in at the MOCA with the kids and they checked out a few exhibits and took a good long time with the kid's art project. Love it!
Since it was family night, we took them to Eataly so they could get excited about our trip! We ordered a plain pizza and plain spaghetti with butter for the kids and it was exquisite. It's hard to make simple food taste that good but they got it down! We shared a gelato for dessert (how can you not?!?) and Jack had an affogato for dessert. He has a night out with the boys tonight and needs a little sugar and a lot of caffeine to get the party started. Is it an 'I OK' night? Only time will tell!
Stinky elevator going down into the 'L'. This is city life, girls!
