They don't think it sounds that exciting. I told them we need to always be learning : ). <br /><br />Tonight they are having a sleepover and they are so loud. I have told them approximately elevently zillion times but, like I just told Gary, I think life is short. Every once in a while it is ok to have a crazy night. I remember when I was young my sister Betsy would have her best friend Stephanie sleep over on Saturday nights. We would pull our little twin beds next to each other and we would stay up far to late laughing and talking. My Daddy would yell down the hall about eleventy zillion times that he had to get up the next day and we had to be quiet. <br /><br />We survived.

Also did the architectural boat tour and love it. It has been a long time since we've done anything but drive around the edges to and from Michigan, so it was fun to see the buildings and other things in the downtown area.

He has returned from Afghanistan and trust me, when you are newly married and your loved one is so far away you tend to appreciate the simple things more, like hearing him snore next to you at night. Ok I digress but I wanted to say love your blog and your photography.

The guide was funny, informative and very entertaining - loved the story he told about the one red high rise building in Chicago and the lawsuit involved. I enjoyed it so much that I forced my family to take the same tour this last May while we were in town for the daughter's law school graduation. Unfortunately, we also had the lousy, lazy tour guide experience :( We did get off the bus as I wanted to find that great tour guide...found another bus, this guide sounded like he had smoked some weed before work but at least he gave more information. But, this time we were surrounded by young women who would. not. shut. up! Arghhhh.....so although I loved the $40 tour the first time, I can't say the same thing about the repeat tours. And, I think the Tour company should install RECORDED narrations so you get the same information every time.
