I just talked to my brother in Chicago to hash out an outline of our schedule and give a rough estimate of when we’ll get to spend time with them. I haven’t seen them in a year, but when we hung up, i got to say “See you tomorrow!” That felt really good.
Our flight leaves bright and early tomorrow at 6:30 am. We’ll be in Chicago at 7:30 central time, with a full day ahead of us. We’ll tour Wrigley field, see the Big Bean (i have no idea what this is, and i’ve been forbidden to look it up online), meet up with Adam and Nora to go to the Taste of Chicago Festival, and finally, head to a Cubs game.
The anticipation is one of my favorite parts of a trip, and i’m just a big ball of anticipation right now. Chicago, here we come!

That all sounds great!! I hope you have a wonderful trip. I look forward to hearing all about it when you return (and seeing the photos!).
