Sunday Afternoon on La My Blog is Better Than Your Blog*

I love that Seurat painting by the way. It's always been one of my favorites. It's awesome. You can check that out on wikipedia. Learn a little something why don't you?

Anyway, here are some pictures from Chicago. I'm the worst at posting pictures, I always, always forget to take them and I often forget to post them. But here you go.

Sara, this blog's for you!


This is Zach and I and J and L on the steps at Millennium Park in Chicago. In front of some sculpture thing.

This is the big silver blob that caught our attention (also at Millennium park) and those are two people in the foreground, who I will name...Ellen and Sam. They are a fictional couple from Michigan who were visiting Chicago for the first time.

This is a sweet garden shot at the park with some of the skyline in the background. Don't you seriously love to look at other people's vacation photos? Most exciting thing ever? Yes.

While in Chicago we went to the Shedd Aquarium, perhaps the greatest place on earth. They have these jellyfish there that are in black tanks with cool lights on them. They say you can't improve on nature, but they are so wrong. You can make jellyfish look even more bad ass than normal if you put them in a tank with some cool lighting. These are one of my favorite things to see. It's really relaxing to watch them.

They have penguins too. The penguins are really cute. Not anywhere near as cute as the sea otters (which we didn't get great pictures of...and I'm not posting a sub par picture because it would detract from the cuteness). Anyway, these are cute too. Pei - this picture is for you!
This is Buckingham Fountain (in the distance- see the big stream of water, yeah, that's it) and J, L, A and I standing around. Pretty sweet. Just so you all can really feel like you were there - at this point I was super tired from walking around for the last 6 hours and I was getting hungry and thirsty. So I was cranky. More cranky than normal...I know...can you even imagine? Well, I'm sure if you've known me for any length of time, you can.
Thanks to Zach for all of the wonderful pictures by the way. This is one that he really liked a lot. It came out pretty cool. That's us crossing the street and heading the place we ate dinner at. It's a pretty nice view of the city.

Finally, here is the newest member of our family. His name is Oliver (Ollie for short) and that's his starfish, Stan. He's a cute sea otter and I love him. Thanks, Zach!!

It was a successful weekend trip. We had a really good time hanging out with the PA people. We also had an awesome time at Grandma's. I didn't want to leave, but alas, the piper has to be paid.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed the pictures and the short narration. I must say I'm really surprised that I actually managed to blog anything today, but I guess I am really great. So that sort of explains it. Plus I'm waiting for the clothes to dry. It takes about 3 hours for that to happen. We need to get the landlord over here to fix it.

Goodnight!


* I know that it's La Grande Jatte, but mine's cute too, right?
