Uncle James and us at the Wilis/Sears Tower

 



We loved spending4 days with Uncle James. He is my little brother buy 12 years....can you believe it? I know right!!! We did lots of fun things. We got to see him graduate Corps school in the Navy....all those men in White....nice!!! LOL James not included of course.....too weird. Then we had dinner at Petterinos steakhouse in the theater district. It was very yummy. Then off we went to see Jersey Boys. No one but G and I had been to a broadway show....they all enjoyed it. It was the story of the 4 seasons group from the 50's 60's. It was AWESOME....lots of wonderful music. Then off to hotel for some sleep. ON Friday we went to the SkyDeck at what was called the Sears tower. It took forever....like 3 hours. I never remember it taking that long before. Then we had a small snack and were off again to yummy dinner at Carmichaels Steakhouse. It just melted....it was amazing. None of the kids...(little brother being included) had ever been in a restrauant like these two steak places....it was a little weird for them and were all asking which fork to use and everything. And at Petterinos the chef asked if he could make something special for Eli....so of course Eli being Eli wanted Fried Shrimp and homemade fresh french fries. Then at dessert they sent us the only desserts we did not order as a gift for us. It was AMAZING!!!! Lets see on Saturday we went to see Harry Po0tter in 3D-IMAX....DOnt bother...it was such a waste of money and time. Only the first 20 minutes were 3D. UGH!!! Not worth the extra 10 bucks. Eli and headed back to the hotel...we got a great deal on a priceline at the Hilton CHicago and only paid $110 for a room that should have been $269. Meanwhile, George, James, and Sterling headed to see the Chicago fire game and eat mexican and just get to know each other. This was the first time James had met the other men in my life. I loved having them all together and I hope James had a good time. This....is what I say a crappy picture taken at the SKy Deck...we had been in line 2 hours by this point. UGH!!!! Comment...I would love to hear from you all.
