Chicago.......Ranting below....Warning!!!

(You can tell im trying to be glad not to be on a plane now that it was 8pm and we left at 7am)

So Nick & I went to Chicago this weekend. This is how it went......

Friday night, drop kids off at Aunt Chelseas around 10:30pm

(thanks anunt Chelsea & uncle Eni for spoiling them they loved it)

Get home around 11:30pm pack for weekend

Call in at 4:00pm for flight (thanks mom Jet blue free flights rule!)

Airport 6:00am SLC to Long Beach

Flight delayed in Long Beach for 3 hours...grrrr

Arrive in Chicago to puddles on the runway,

I now have a new meaning to "hydoplane", scary to say the least.

Went to dinner at CPK on Michagan Ave. paid $21 to park for an hour and a half.

Oh well we did hit up the largest H&M in history!!!

We were supposed to meet a guy to get a key to Cookie Cutters so we could start moving equiptment. He never showed up or called back. So we decided to go find our hotel..

On a positive note everyone should own a garmin.

Got up at 5am to go over to the store......

The guy still isn't there so we decide to go to a hardware store....

This is what we found.

Walgreens was open next door, they weren't under a 1 1/2 of water,

so we bought a wrench there.

Finally at 7:30am the guy shows up and says take what you want. So we did.

4 Moving guys showed up at 10:00am and didn't do much but complain that it wouldn't all fit not worth much.

(I see why they work for a temp agency)

Nick made everything fit.....I'm still trying to figure out how.

11:30am mom calls to say there are only 4 seats left on the

flight because other airlines are canceling flights.....

Get to airport to try and check in, detour inside the airport because

there was a fire last night and flodding today were the bagage claim is.......

Okay I will stop complaining in a minute.......

Wait on pins and needles to see if we are going to get on the flight, and we must have done something right because we got on a full flight and got to sit next to eachother, in the row with extra leg room. Yes that was the best part of the trip.

Actually it does get better. We stayed the night in long beach and walked to a little resturant by our hotel, it was out of the eighties, it was Nepolian all over again. Got on a flight in the morning and came home to reality.......

Im glad to be home that is for sure.......
