Haven't written in awhile because I've been pretty busy. I've had off work for a week now and I don't go back to Monday (I took last Thursday off because my in-laws were in town, but this week the school is closed). It's been really nice... even though I kind of missed not going anywhere this summer, it was also nice to be home (plus we have Vegas in October and probably Spring Training in Arizona or Florida in the spring, and hopefully San Diego in May, if Seth passes his next/last exam). And this week was nice because with my in-laws in town we get to kind of be like tourists... we did a lot -- Botanical Gardens and tapas on Thursday (which I love and have to get to more often... it's so beautiful and relaxing there), Sox game on Friday (it was great! Sox won 10-5 against the Yankees), street fest (we took Toby with and he had so much fun:), Greektown and Jersey Boys on Saturday (which I really enjoyed), Second City on Sunday (SO funny), and Lincoln Park Zoo on Monday. Then they went home, but Monday night I went to showtunes with Jen and had a great time (as always), and Tuesday I went to Movies in the Park with Lauren, Jen and Charlie and, as always, we had a great evening of picnicking, drinking wine, talking, and watching the movie. Then today I decided I need to take more advantage of the fact that Chicago museums are free for educators... so I went to the Aquarium/Oceanarium, which was great... loved looking at the fish and whales and everything. It made me want to go diving again really badly. And then since I was there and had a little time and it was free, I decided to go to the Planetarium to see the star show.
Plus, the weather has been amazing the past week --- mid-70s, sunny, breezy.... just amazing. It'll be tough getting back to work after the 10 days off or so...
Anyway, Seth and I are going to watch some TV. More later...
