Magnificent

Buying gifts for parents is kind of like buying clothes for a teenager. I think they are tied for #1 on the List of Nearly Impossible Things To Do.

Time together, however, is a priceless gift that is easy to lose in today's hectic race from one "obligation" to another.

Hence, it was our pleasure (all 8 of us) to host a Ten Grand weekend for Mom and Dad on Chicagos's Magnificent Mile.

We don't really have any photographic memories of the weekend (No photos allowed at The Blue Man Group and too cold and windy to stop, much less take my hands out of my pockets for a photo on the Mag Mile), but Dad captured this from his hotel room overlooking Lake Michigan.

. . . and this should be the next ad for Westin's Heavenly Beds.
