We had this yummy place right across from our hotel. The first time we ate there, I had scrambled eggs with bacon, tomatoes, fresh spinach and blue cheese mixed in. Yummers!

We then headed off to the zoo.

This bear cracked me up! Look at its tongue. I don’t know if it was just really hot or what! The sign said she had just had jaw surgery, so maybe she just couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

This place was not originally on our agenda. I didn’t even know it existed, but my aunt, who used to live in Chicago, told me about it. Luckily, it is right next to the zoo. The boys liked this place better than the zoo, so I am glad we went.

They were having a special exhibit about robots which was the hit of the day for all THREE of the boys in our family.

On the way to dinner, the boys posed next to this cool mailbox.

We had dinner here. It was a DISASTER! It was a really nice restaurant, both of the boys spilled their drinks, Liam was crying…ugh! I will say, however, that it was probably the best Italian food I have had in a long time…too bad I didn’t get to enjoy it.
