A.)Catching a cheap flight to Chicago for the weekend, riding the L to Wrigley field, crashing on a couch in a college friend's apartment, drinking my face off and finding the best local hangout for a satisfying breakfast with enough grease to curb the hangover.
B.)Driving to Chicago, checking into a hotel with suitcase in one hand and the other alternating between two kids, picking a restaurant based on proximity and its kid's menu, going to American Girl doll store (2xs), Millennium Park and Navy Pier.
I've experienced both of the above scenarios, one this past weekend... the other seems like a lifetime ago. I must say that both were a lot of fun. And I must admit, I was proud of myself for having yogurt w/granola after a 30 min run in the morning, instead of the greasy breakfast I used to crave on my visits to the windy city 15 years ago.
I'm glad that life has afforded me the opportunity to see Chicago from two perspectives. And some day, I'll go back and perhaps drink with my grown kids and enjoy breakfast at a diner in Lincoln Park, laughing about how silly we'd all been the night before... I'd actually like nothing better then that :>
I was part of generation X for awhile... I think. If generation X were those that graduated college in the early nineties. Then generation Y came along, not sure what age defined that group... and before I had a chance to figure that out, I turned forty. This blog is about me, and what I'm doing in my forties, working, parenting, embracing the moments of generationforty.
