It seems to be earlier every year. Chicago is a wonderful place to spend a day with them. I still remember visiting the natural history museum when I was a kid. You can be sure the grands will cherish that day.<br /><br />I was surprised at how much Micah enjoyed seeing the Florida History Museum when he visited us a few weeks ago. Everytime I tried to take a pic, though, it turned out blurry, because he was constantly moving! <br /><br />Good luck with the moving. I guess you'll be glad to have your daughter close by again.walk2writehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13501812375142037251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-66199627991097952222011-08-12T19:42:55.704-05:002011-08-12T19:42:55.704-05:00What a fun day!
