We have arrived. Thanks to the library's fantastic DVD collection, we had fresh media for the whole trip. Hooray for the Magic School Bus. It's kind of annoying, but somewhat educational and mesmerizes both Neko and Shep. Which is excellent when you're on a five hour drive with three children 5 and under. I think Kate N. recommended the show to me ages ago, so, um, a little slow on the uptake.
We've settled into our apartment, which is fabulous. I may never stay in a hotel again. Well, unless I have no children with me, then HOORAY for hotels and all things room service and waiting on me hand and foot. But in the meantime, we have a 46th floor 3-bedroom apartment overlooking the harbor of Lake Michigan. Did I mention the full kitchen and washer and dryer? Yippee!
We wandered down to find the rumored playground and discovered we had hit the jackpot with a playground complete with water sprays and big fence.
If I didn't know this place spent half the year with temperatures below freezing, I MIGHT consider moving. And there's that whole school thing. I'm not sure I've seen one of those yet.
Pictures forthcoming…
