So after arriving in Chicago on a fun, short flight, I met my cousins for the first time. It was cool to hang out with them, especially because they have a big train set with a train table. Thank goodness for the train table because it kept me occupied for many hours while Mommy & Daddy had other plans…
Many months before the Chicago Trip, Mommy made reservations for a very special dinner at Alinea for GongGong, PoPo, Uncle Chian, Aunt Annie and Daddy In case you don’t know about Alinea, it is a 3-star Michelin-rated restaurant and the #1 restaurant in the United States. Alinea’s chef, Grant Achatz, won the James Beard Award for best chef in 2008. Since this is a blog about me and not about the food I didn’t get to eat, Mommy will just keep it short and say that it was hand-down, the best meal GongGong, PoPo, Daddy and Mommy have ever eaten…and GongGong & PoPo have eaten some pretty fancy stuff in their life.
Okay…now that Mommy done making me talk about Alinea, here is what I did with my cousins:
We went to the beautiful campus of Northwestern University and gave each other a tri-fist bump!

That is also where I figured out what a great exercise gym Mommy’s body is…

We also went to The Field Museum where there were many things for kids to do.
