What a great time. We almost didn't go, because Allison woke with a bad nose bleed at 1:15 on Wed. morning, but as our oncologist pointed out, we have just as much risk in Denver as we do in Chicago, and after spending all night in the Childrens ER, we were ready for some fun. We conquered the American Girl store, an overwhelming, but fun, place. We stayed in luxurious accommodations at the Drake Hotel, promenading with all of the fancy people on Michigan Avenue. We took the El in from Midway, an adventure, had high tea at the Drake ($$$$!), marveled at the Shedd Aquarium, and at the coolest piece of art I've ever seen in Millennium Park. It was a great trip. I posted our pictures in a link to the right, and of course, scanned the famous cover girls who had a photo shoot at the American Girl store. I decided our family's story is similar to Kit, American Girl from the Depression, who faced major changes in her life when her dad lost his job, but rolled with the changes and still learned from them. We met some wonderful people, too. Now back to reality! Bummer about the Rockies, but we are still proud of them. We got some cool stuff from Dinger--he is the nicest mascot I've ever met.
Bye for now.

What a fun trip that you guys had. If you loved that piece in Millenium Park, you should know that the artist, Anish Kapoor, a British artist, also has a piece on display at the Denver Art Museum. It is a really cool blue lacquered disc on display in the Contemporary gallery. Check it out! -Emily Kosakowski
Thanks, Emily! I was wondering who the artist is...
