On our way home, we decided to swing by Lincoln Park Zoo. Given the cold and the outdoor nature of the zoo, we decided to park and go for a bit of a stroll.
Translation: we wanted to go see the seals. And by we, I mean Liz.
We got some coffee and ice cream for desert, and they came out with a nice sparkler to celebrate the occasion. Happy Birthday, Liz!
This looks to be a really fascinating documentary, though it also looks like it would be really tough to sit through. I still haven’t gotten up the courage to watch The Cove yet, and some portions of the trailer strike me as being difficult to watch.
Stacey, Shane and the kids came in to Chicago on Friday, and we spent a lot of that time eating and hanging out.

With all the snow out, we decided going someplace warm (and indoors) would be best.
On Saturday, the Hutte family (Stacey, Shane, Jasmine and Jahnu) made a trek up to Chicago for the day. They were planning on meeting some Chicago friends at the Lincoln Park Zoo, and Liz and I joined up with them around noon. L to R it’s Jasmine, Shane and Jahnu. It was a beautiful day…
Entryway – Lincoln Park Zoo. I should mention that Liz let me drive her Vespa today (I drove to breakfast, and to the zoo). Lots of fun, as we left North Ave due to traffic and zipped up some side streets. The Seal tank. One of Liz’s favorites, we hung out here a good long…
