It was a great week of vacation!!

 I’m glad to be home, but I had a most excellent time last week.  Kelly and I spent the first half of the week together (just by ourselves…right on…) in the Chicagoland area and then we spent the last half of the week with our three kids hanging out at the water parks of Wisconsin Dells.  The best of both vacation worlds…time with my wife; time with my children!!  The highlights for me are:

• Going to the Medieval Times show in Schaumburg, IL.
• The AmeriSuites in Schaumburg – very nice with a free breakfast buffet!
• Worship at Willow Creek Community Church for Father’s Day – very cool!
• Chicago Cubs game at Wrigley Field – excellent third base side seats in the shade!
• Giordano’s Pizza!  Best deep dish pizza!
• IKEA store (never been, never wanted to, left a huge fan!).
• Time spent with my wife.
• Fuddrucker’s 2/3 lbs. three cheese hamburger (2 x…yes!)
• Outback Cheesefries.
• Museum of Science and Industry.
• Relaxing in a jaquzzi.
• Wendella’s Boat Tour of the Chicago River and Lake Michigan
• Navy Pier
• Magnificient Mile (Michigan St.)
• Crazy Pakistani taxi driver who thought he was a NASCAR driver
• IMAX theaters
• Wisconsin Dell’s Boat tour (although a little cheesy)
• Swimming with the kids.
• Noah’s Ark Water Park (the largest in the world!)
• Polynesian Resort at Wisconsin Dell’s – lots of water rides for the kids
