back!
We returned this afternoon. I'm very glad to be home, after 11 days away (2 in Montreal, 5 at conference, and then 4 vacationing in Chicago). The cats are clinging to me like lint onto velcro.
Yesterday we went to the Chicago Historical Museum, which was so, so good. They had lots of Chicago Exposition stuff, some histories of local families, a series of interviews with people on their various neighbourhoods. Special exhibitions included Chicago wedding dresses, Abraham Lincoln's deathbed, and an AMAZING low-rider installed in the foyer. Also, wicked gift shop.
We also walked along the beaches of Lake Michigan, went on a fun boat tour of city architecture, and ate hot dogs. We would both go again.

hey both
that sounds like a great holiday - you guys sure know how to make the most of your time - if I were young I'd put Chicago on my buket list
Abraham Lincoln's actual deathbed?
yes! *the* bed!
Mom, you could totally go to Chicago. It would be easy -- lots of buses, and trains, and cabs to get around. It felt great and very safe!
I have already gotten a note from the Sheraton asking when we are coming back. they miss the Badgers already!!
I expect they feel bad about only seeing a couple of Badgers.
