How to start your summer vacation

We're writing the book on it.

In the first 24 hours or so after Levynn left school yesterday afternoon, she went to a playground; ate dinner on Millenium Park's grass while listening to Grant Park Orchestra's season-opening concert; played around the park's attractions, like Crown Fountain and Cloud Gate (The Bean); slept late; ate breakfast in our building's community room; played at Oak Street Beach; stood next to the Stanley Cup; and registered for Chicago Public Library's summer reading program, "Reading is Art-rageous."

And you know we've got busy days ahead, too.



For those of you who are curious about the Stanley Cup moment:

Mom received a tip that it would be not just in Tribune Tower but on the stage next to her desk, for only a half hour this afternoon, and we decided that she had to get Levynn in there. Here's a little peak at the scene.


Levynn's got her priorities straight!

Mom and Levynn also visited strolled along the Riverwalk and met this fella.
