Family time

Monday
Now that Damian has some time off work to spend with us we enjoyed a little time together as a family. On Monday we got a few things done like go to the bank , post office and store, but while we were out Damian wanted to stop and get some lunch. We happened to pass a White Castle and because Damian saw it in a movie he wanted to eat there. I didn't think it was that great, I will probably never eat there again.

Tuesday
On Tuesday Damian wanted to go and eat at a place called Smoque BBQ. They are said to have some of the best BB-Q in Chicago so we gave it a try. I had the ribs and Damian had the brisket. He thought it was really good, I thought it was ok. He is happy to say that he has been there and tried it.

When we were finished we drove into down town Chicago looking for something to do. We decided to drive around and check thing out, we ended up driving along a road that was next to the lake. It took us through some really nice neighborhoods with huge houses right on the beach. Boy I sure wish we had the money to buy on of them. Oh well, what do ya do?


Just before coming home we stopped at a beach area / park and let the kids play in the water and on the toys. At first both girls were really scared of the water and did not want to go any where near it, but after a few minutes they were happy to but their feet in, pick up stones, and play in the sand.


We didn't plan to go swimming so we did not have any thing to swim in. We just let the kids play for a while and then came home. It was a really nice drive and was a great way to see the area. Now we have an idea of some nice areas to look for a house in.
