Saturday morning we took off to Rockford Illinois to pick up Tony! We couldn't wait, it was a very long summer without him. We decided last minute, like Monday afternoon, that we needed a little vacation. Most everyone knows we are following the Dave Ramsey plan and aren't suppose to be taking and vacations but we have done really good lately and honestly we NEEDED it. So I used priceline to get a hotel and we ended up at the Hyatt at O'hare airport for $45.00 a night! We didn't tell Tony we were going, which was hilarious. Once we parked at the hotel Ron and I acted like we were lost and were "arguing" (which never really happens so he was MAJORLY confused) then we both said, fine lets just go on vacation. The poor kid didn't know what to think :) But once we realized what was going on he was super excited. We got all checked in and walked to the "L" train stop right down the road from our hotel and took it downtown. We wanted to go to Navy Pier that night because they have fireworks every Saturday night in the summer time. We took the free trolley to the Pier from the subway stop. Riley didn't know what to think about riding in the trolley without a car seat! We ate dinner at the pier and we rode the Ferris wheel and Tony rode the swings, this was a splurge but it was worth it! After walking around for a bit it was firework time and they were awesome! Poor Riley was so tired she feel asleep before the fireworks and slept through the whole show. She woke up as we were getting on the subway to head back to the hotel. We had a lot of fun but we were tired, it was 1:00 am before we got back to the hotel and 2:00 am before we all got to bed. Talk about some wired kids and some tired parents!
