We drove down on Friday, listening to The Jayhawks and Ravi Shankar. We went to the Morton Arboretum, which was almost on par with the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum in scenery and horticulture. We went bowling, and I was happy just to break 100 (what happened to me?). Got Indian food and got Irish food (I got the obligatory Guinness). We rode the scooter. And we saw the Hunger Games. It was pretty good. Very bloody for a kid’s movie though. I am not sure what the next two movies will be about since everyone dies in the first one. But my 12 year old niece assures me there is PLENTY more to come in the story.
The weather was beautiful the whole time. We did not go downtown. Oh well. It requires a lot of travel on the L or the Metra and there is a lot of walking and spending. Just going to the Field Museum would have been over a hundred dollars.
