The Walcotts hopped in the car and drove to Orlando during our holiday vacation. We had a wonderful time. Nothing fancy: lots of swimming and many kid-friendly outings. The highlight was Lego Land...pretty much heaven on earth for Lego lovers like Brighton.

The Walcotts Hit Chicago

All of us! We spent a long weekend in Chicago...a very different weekend compared to one without the kids of course, but it was awesome. Chicago with kids is great!
We swooped in by train (commuter train starting in Michigan City). We did the children's museum on Navy Pier. We had Chicago pizza at Lou Malnatis. We rode in a taxi cab (an electric one!). We explored Millennium Park. We did some shoe shopping in Nordstrom. We went to Shedd's Aquarium - AWESOME.
We did lots of walking and simply took in the big city through the eyes of our kids: lots more people, lots more buildings - tall ones, lots more streets, lots more cars, lots more honking horns, and lots more sirens.

I know a lot of you read about our adventures and consider doing the same. We would repeat everything except the children's museum.

Lovely Ladies

These are some of the lovely ladies in my family. I travel with them at least once a year for a weekend getaway. This past weekend we did Chicago. We did lots of shopping, and the trip was of course appropriately timed with the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. We also did a Food Tour - super fun!

Thanksgiving Weekend at Great Wolf Lodge

After Thanksgiving, there was no Black Friday for us. We went to Great Wolf Lodge in Traverse City for the first time. We have several friends that go often, so we finally decided to go and check it out. It was a Raterink getaway including Great Grandpa Raterink. We had a great time, and we'll for sure go back. Maybe an annual tradition on our hands?
