On Saturday we invited the Simington's to lunch as a thank you for taking us to the airport. We went to Machu Picchu for some Peruvian food. This meal was really enjoyed by everyone! We then went for a quick visit to the Field Museum. This has become a favorite destination for the family. Becoming members here has been one the best decisions we've made in Chicago.
On Sunday we went to eat and visit with Tanya's aunt and her family. They were very nice and accommodating. I hope that we can see each other again very soon. It is always nice to have family nearby.
Today I took the family out to eat at Baking and Eggs. This restaurant was featured on Check Please, a local gastronomy show, and thought we should give it a try. After a 30 minute wait we were sat down and only to be served mediocre food. I was very disappointed and will probably not return. There are so many great breakfast places in Chicago that we can very easily skip this place.
Afterwards we went to look at some strollers and have settled on Mountain Buggy. This stroller has the best design and functionality that we've seen. It is bit pricey but is worth every penny.
We then went to the Aquarium which was packed today. I did not enjoy the time we spent there and only lasted 1 hour. I'm not sure that we'll be back anytime soon.
We are now back in the house and am going to prepare to head back to the plant tomorrow.
