A mini vacation to Chicago

We spent Thanksgiving in Chicago with our family. It was a quiet and a blessed Thanksgiving day. Kids had a lot of fun. This was a little vacation trip we planned at the very last moment and spontaneity worked really well since with a very little planning we had great results and lots of fun.

We also went to downtown Chicago. It is such a beautiful place. What a city. Every time we go we think the same: What a city this is. Its architecture is really something and the combination between both, architecture and water -the Michigan lake- really takes your breath away.

Shopping is A M A Z I N G too. I love Chicago.

Some pictures to share.

Have a great, healthy and peaceful week everybody. Christmas is getting closer.

Kindergarten

It seems we have finally found a school we really like for D. to start elementary school next fall. I know, it seems so early to start the process, but in order to pick the school we really wanted we needed to start this early. What a relief. What a big relief. We toured at least 10 schools in the last 2 months. In our district, out of our district, public schools and private schools, charter schools and whatever's left in the middle, and somehow there was always something that didn't click to me when touring all those schools. All of them -btw- with very high scores and super nice reviews, but still, there was something that didn't convince me. It happened the same to me when I was looking for preschools for D. two years ago. I visited many, until I went to one that felt right to me instantly, it felt right in my heart. And that was how I felt yesterday morning when we visited the very last school in our list to tour, it felt right. I liked the school, thank God, I liked

Copenhagen

I've had this city in my mind for a while. Never been there, but every time I research about trips to Europe I bump into a Copenhagen article, link, photo and I get more and more interested and excited about this city. In pictures it just looks like the kind of city I like. Here my inspiration for today Friday, a few photos of gorgeous Copenhagen. All photos by: littlescandinavian.com (one of my favorite blogs). Happy weekend. Healthy and peaceful.
