We were so excited to get away without children in October. Noah had a class in Chicago and I love to tag along. It has become a trend (and a joke) that we vacation with the marathoners. We were in Disney World for their marathon in January 2010. The weekend we visited was the weekend of the Chicago Marathon. I was excited to get in on the action by watching the first several finishers cross the finish line. It was all the talk around town that weekend and our hotel was close to the start/finish lines so we were fairly knowledgable by race day. Not being a runner, I can only watch in admiration as these people push themselves to run such distances. The signs of support were awesome! People were cheering on everyone and providing encouragement along the way. The morning was a good life lesson as well! My goal on this trip was to explore different neighborhoods. This is what makes a big city so appealing to me. Success!!! I visited Chinatown, Obama's Hyde Park, Greektown, and accidentally, a little piece of the "hood". Oops! We agreed that this was our best visit to Chicago yet. Can't wait for the next class!
