Halloween weekend

This weekend was another relaxing one in Chicago.   The weather is definitely starting to cool down and winter is slowly approaching.   On Saturday the family and I went to the Alder Planetarium.   It was a nice Planetarium but the deal with these places is going to see the shows in the dome.   Since Valentina is too young we did not do it this time.   I cannot imagine going back until everyone can go see one of the shows.  Afterwards went to grab some food at Los Camales.    This place is becoming our "go-to" spot for tacos and tortas.

Today we went to eat some ribs at Smoking Woody's.   This place was not that good.  I think the majority of their food came from a can.  It was really disappointing and we will be going to Twin Anchors for BBQ from now on.   We then went to a Halloween festival for Valentina.

This weekend passed by so quickly that I cannot believe tomorrow is Monday.  As November approaches I feel that family is now fully settled into Chicago and Denver is a past memory.   This city is now finally home.
