As I said yesterday, we decided on an impromptu visit to see Jude, Chad and Maya in Chicago. I was able to get a condo for a decent price close to the lake, and Kuba was able to get a vacation day. So we had a leisurely breakfast together, and set off at around 8.
Zak is much more difficult now in the car. He's pretty much bored with the iPhone, even though I downloaded new games just for the trip. He watched one movie on the computer, but then was bored of that.
He knows how to use the fact that he's potty trained in his favor. At some point, he said he wanted to stop. We said let's try to go another half hour or so. So then he said "Poopy, poopy." Hmm. Anyway, we got to Chicago, and had a great evening with Jude, Chad and Maya. Zak loved riding on the El. He was a bit overwhelmed with all the trains and busses, two of his favorite things :-)
Saturday we went to the aquarium...absolutely great for anyone visiting Chicago. It was a little too crowded, but still very, very good (except the dolphin show, that was awful.)

Anyway, had a great time with the Higdon-Topazes, trip back was rather long with Zak, but we managed to get home in time to get on the bikes for an hour and get some fresh air. Zak talked incessantly about Maya for the next few days, so it was definitely a worthwhile trip. I'm glad we had the time to make it happen.
