Something always happens to me when I start seeing the backpack and pencils displayed at our local Target.  It's a nagging alarm clock that reminds me of the finite amount of time left before the sunshine and warm weather fades.   Damn you Number 2 pencils!  We joined the throngs of tourists in Chicago's Millennium Park.  It was our first time in the Lurie Garden...absolutely beautiful.  Fun is always found on the eL too.
