Academy of Oto

Here are some pictures from my trip to Chicago this weekend for mommy's Academy of Otolaryngology meeting. We had a great time and the weather was perfect. We will be headed back to Chicago in a month for daddy's national meeting.


Boppy was there too, so I took her out to brunch at my favorite Dim Sum restaurant, Phoenix, in Chinatown. Uncle Steve came too, and he helped because he knew all the Chinese names for the dishes.


I got to see twigas (giraffes) live in person at the Lincoln Park zoo. But I didn't think they were a big deal- I have a much more cuddly one in my room. Who needs the real thing.

Here's mommy and I looking at the animals in the zoo. I was kinda tired by then, so I didn't get too excited by the whole scene.



Daddy found a noodle shop that made fresh mac and cheese, and I was much happier! We got a big bowl of it, curled up on bed in the hotel room and watched the Bears game. It was totally sweet. We shared the bowl (I had more than daddy) and I sipped milk while daddy drank a beer. I am totally ready to do that again!

More photos coming in 2 days when I get back from Chicago.

Soph,
Eating in a hotel room bed is so much fun- your Dad and Uncles Chris and Kurt used to say -"Room Service, please". I like the photo of you- very pretty and sort of big girl looking- no more baby Sophie! Love, Gran

Sophie you are so cute! I have another song for your collection:
Now this could only happen to a girl like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss

This is my kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of people too
People who smile at you

And each time I roam, chicago is
Calling me home, chicago is
Why I just brim like a cload
Its my kind of town

My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of town, chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has, all that jazz

And each time I leave, chicago is
Tuggin my sleeve, chicago is
The wrigley building, chicago is
The union stockyard, chicago is
One town that wont let you down
Its my kind of town
Love,
Ada
