Chicago Trip Part 3: Jamba Juice

So, on the return trip back home from Chicago, Mommy & Daddy splurged on two things at the airport.  One was Garrett’s popcorn which is a Chicago institution!  The other is Jamba Juice which is a California institution, but was conveniently found at O’Hare Airport, so Mommy bit the bait and bought one…but what’s wrong with this picture?  A lady saw Mommy holding the kid-size juice and me holding a humongous juice and jokingly asked Mommy the same question.

You know it’s good juice if I like it this much!

Chicago Trip Part 2: Hanging with the Cousins!

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.
