Chicago Weekend

This last weekend we took a long drive to Chicago, IL. I took my mother to see Daniel O'Donnell for her 60th birthday present. We left about 7 am and got to the hotel about 2 p.m. The hotel was nice but it definately needed some improvements. The bathroom was very small and there was no trash can in there. There was only one wash cloth for two beds and the sink did not have a way to plug it. So it made it a little hard to wash the baby bottles. It was right down town and not far from the concert hall. So a cab was only $7.00 one way. The show was good if you like that type of music. My mom was on the edge of her seat all night. I am glad that she enjoyed the concert. Saturday started off nice. We left the hotel about 9 a.m or so and got a little lost. So we call Brian's aunt and she gave us directions to her house. Most of the day was spent just relaxing. Anne had a cookout at 3 p.m for family that wanted to see us and meet Lisa. Sunday we got up early and headed over to the hospital to see baby Jack. He was born 3 1/2 month early because of complications. He is doing well now but still touch and go. Bridget (Jack's Mom) is doing a wonderful job making sure he gets everything he needs. He is one lucky little man. They aren't expecting him to come home anytime before his due date in July. I was so glad that we were able to get to see him and I am sure that Bridget was happy to see Brian. I wish her all the love and luck in the world. After the visit we headed back to Anne's to pick up my mom and head for home. We got home just when the warning sirens where going off. So I asked Brian to check and see what was going on. There was a tornado warning. We hurried and got the car unloaded and went to the basement. The storm was over in about 45 minutes and all was well.
