Before going into the auto show on Sunday, we had breakfast at the Hyatt, a hotel that is connected to McCormick Place. We had a table with pseudo-highchairs- my feet were like 2 feet of the ground while I was sitting on the chair. After we enjoyed the breakfast buffet and spent about 3 hours at the show (Dad had a board meeting), we went back to our sham of a hotel: the four seasons. I mean, when we got back to our room, all that was sitting there was a bowl of popcorn, 3 glass bottles Coke and cookie and chocolate milk for Jake. New towels are nice, but complimentary Coke is quite memorable. Then, Dad and the sibs went to the pool while I stayed and worked on a paper in the room. (doing homework- shocker, I know). But when you are overlooking Lake Michigan from 30 stories up, homework is slightly less miserable. That night, we had dinner at Mity Nice- an American style restaurant near the hotel. For dessert, we went to the Ghiradelli's (which is right next Hershey's). I had hot chocolate again, but this time I was prepared. I used a spoon for the first five minutes. That's key- I would know. That night, I slept without fear of being spied on... and the next morning we ate breakfast at this quaint restaurant called Oak Tree Cafe. We wrapped up our vacation downtown with a visit to the Chicago Art Institute. Here's an update from the ever-fascinating world of art: nothing's changed. But, then again, you can't beat the classics.
This is Matt Matt "The Slippery Cat" reporting- giving you plain talk about the art issues you need to know... just in time...;)
