A few weeks ago I celebrated my birthday. We didn't really make any concrete plans and awoke up to possibility of thunderstorms questioning whether we should go anywhere outside. And then we thought..why should that stop us? So we packed up the kids and headed downtown Chicago with an initial stop at our favorite Native Foods for lunch. YUM!
Although rain showers did indeed fall, immediately after lunch the clouds passed and the sun shined brightly on a glorious warm, but not too hot, beautiful afternoon. After a walk to the bakery we headed to the Chicago River and boarded the Wedella Boat for a two hour cruise along the rive and Lake Michigan. And it was wonderful. Great to be a tourist in your own town.

Such a fantastic day. Thank you to all of you who reached out to me to wish me a happy day-I felt the love. And here's a quick collage I did for our books. Have a great weekend and try and stay cool.
