When you wake up on vacation with a sick kid ... what do you do? Well, we decided to split up so Jack took the 2 healthy ones (Natalie and Jacqui) to the Children's Museum while I stayed home and nursed the sick one back to health. Apparently the Children's Museum was a hit again! Our time at home was somewhat less exciting. Charlotte sipped chicken soup broth and watched the Lego Movie while I did several loads of laundry.
Charlotte was on the mend by the time the sitter came so Jack and I headed up Clark Street, on foot, to meet our friends Drew and Cindy for dinner in Evanston. Yes, from Lakeview to Evanston ... walking ... This is Jack for you. Not only does he have 'Caged Tiger Syndrome' (my name for his not-able-to-sit-stillness) but also, he has an extraordinarily optimistic sense of time. He never, ever, over estimates how long it will take us to do something ... always under shoots it by at least 50%! So, as we set off on our 8+ mile walk up Clark street, I was keeping an eye on my watch so we could order that Uber once he figured out we weren't going to make it! We hoofed it somewhere north of Andersonville (about 3 miles from home) and then called the ball and caught a cab. Dinner (and drinks) were fabulous! As was the company!
