Stranded in Chicago!

This morning Joe and I took off St Louis bound. Unfortunately, we only made it about half a block before the car broke down, so we are currently waiting for a tow. The dealership where it's getting fixed isn't open until tomorrow, so we won't know until then what's wrong with the car and how long we will be here. Hey, at least we're in Chicago, there are way worse places to get stranded.

Last night I enjoyed a pretty laid back 4th of July with the boys. Apparently fireworks are basically legal in Chicago on the 4th, so we sat on the roof and watched people setting them off all around us. Also, Joe and I stopped in a huge warehouse fireworks store in Indiana (which is where everyone in Chicago goes to get fireworks, duh!), so we had some of our own, too.

Also, here are some silly photos from the childrens section of the Art Institute.
