Good traffic got us from Nick & Kara's to downtown in only 20 minutes.
We spent another 20 minutes to find a parking garage close to where we wanted to be. A short walk later we were on Michigan Ave.
A year ago, Owen barfed on me here. No such misfortune this time around.
For a solid week, Owen has been asking if we could go to the Lego store. He'd never forgive us if we didn't stop.
Stopped by the Ghiradelli and Hershey chocolate stores. Reese's flavored cupcake at the Hershey store was the best.
Lunch was at the famous Pizzeria Due.
We re-enacted the Dark Knight chase scene on lower Wacker drive, purely by accident.
Our flight ended up being delayed by FOUR hours, but luckily we got the alert right before Nick dropped us off at the airport, so we went back to their place to kill a few hours.
I brought my gun with me for our little adventure, and was a little nervous about declaring it at the luggage counter at the airport in one of America's most gun-unfriendly cities.
The Southwest employee was much less cooperative than the TSA agent, who even brought me an ammo box (in the correct caliber!) from the lost and found. The TSA agent said he and a few other guys there were "gun people" and he took great care of us.
The flight delay gave us a little time to make one more stop at Portillo's for a combo sandwich, which I enjoyed after we made it to the gate. I watched the end of the Heat/Mavs game with a large crowd, most of whom were cheering for the Mavs.
Remember that old computer of Nick's? Yeah we hauled that thing through security, on the plane, and out to the parking lot in SLC.
We landed in Salt Lake about 1:30am. Walt did great on the flight but wasn't happy to be woken up. Shannon is looking up at the overhead bin to make sure the computer is ok.
Careful with that computer!
Our pack mules were tired.
That's it! Trip over. We had such a great time with each other as well as the friends and family we visited. I hope the boys will remember this one.
