ugh, too early! Why were you up?!

I woke up?

oh, don't do THAT

I had a nice breakfast, I might have ☕ #2. Got Viking Festival tonight.

OoOooOooo

ehhhh

I would be more enthused if we weren't in a heat bubble/heat dome/whatever they are calling it

It has been in the 90s all week

yep! here too

haaaaaaaaaate

if I wanted to live where the air is hot soup, I'd be in the south

yesterday we had a wee storm though and the temp dropped to 70's with a cool lake breeze, it was NICE

back up today though

niiice

I need to visit chicago

yes you do

I haven't been in, like, 15 years?

would you want to go to museums? which ones?

Yes museums!

I wanna do one of those boat architecture tours, too

ahahahI was THINKING that

I haven't done touristy chicago

I've been on it at least 5 times

every time someone visits chicago

ahahahah

My other chicago visits were very short (went fabric shopping or to go see a play)

book of mormon is coming back

I have had both the pizza and a proper hot dog

I LOVE book of mormon

Book of Mormon is lots of fun

Hm. Looks like Union Station is right in the middle of everything, and IIRC, the metro is really good. Should not require a car.

esp not in the summer

Yeah. Will need to research, though, to see if there is a decent transit to not-$$$/night hotels

Because yeah, the miracle mile is NOT cheap sleep

magnificent mile!

sorry!

but yeah, the chi chi fancy part of chi-town

yu don't want to stay there! Downtown is terrible 😄

unless you're looking to go shopping in ex[pensive boutiques

or eat an an overpriced steakhouse

exactly

If you schedule around events such as Cubs games and concerts especially

Oh, cute!

But yeah - field museum & art institute are not dependant on major events

...I have not been to the institute

sweetie, how long have you lived in chicago?

uh....
