72 Years Isn't Too Long to Wait

This post is a tad late, given the playoffs (and the win!) were weeks ago, but since Chicago is still celebrating being the current holders of the Stanley Cup, and it took them 72 years to win it for the second time, I think the tardiness of my post can be excused.

In the week or so prior to the final series of games, the Second City started to show its support in interesting places. The brontosaurus outside the Field Museum of Natural History wore a size XXXXXL jersey.


The (317th) Time We Went to Disney

Major apologies for it being so long since I last posted! A and I were in the process of moving, then going to my sister's graduation, then a mini-vacation, all while A was studying 24/7 for the boards. Things have been busy, and now I'm behind in posts.  As we're about to embark on another vacation, there will be another delay. Apologies in advance!  I also apologize for the fact that I did not have time to edit any of these pictures before this post.

My sisters and I decided to begin our sister-only annual vacations this year with a trip to Disney!  We're not sure of the exact number of times we've gone to the House of the Mouse, but it's somewhere between 200 and a jillion.  (Ok, maybe not a jillion, but mostly because that's not a real number.)  Saying that we enjoy Disney would be an understatement.  Each time we hit up our favorite rides and note what's changed. This time we also hunted for Hidden Mickeys, which are Mickey shapes the Imagineers worked into the scenery and decoration.

Our plan of action:
Sunday - MGM (I know they call it "Hollywood Studios" now, but it'll always be MGM to us!)
Monday - Magic Kingdom
Tuesday - Animal Kingdom

It happened to be a Star Wars Weekend at MGM - Stormtroopers patrolled the entrance.
