Shelly's Birthday

Shelly's birthday was yesterday (Feb 10. We receive about 10 inches of snow and the kids had their first "snow day" in recent history. We used the time off to pack and wrap up any loose ends. Over lunch Shelly and I went to her trainer for the hardest workout yet. Lets just say we were ready to throw up after the second set. We left around 5 for Chicago. The roads were not bad and we rolled into Fronterra Grill for dinner about 8. We had some excellent food and margarita's! Afterwards we headed to the Aloft Hotel in Rosemount (near the airport). Gina wrote in her journal and ate an ice cream sandwich while us boys played a few games of pool (I won 2 of 3 games, barely) The girls turned in early while John and I watched the end of the UNC vs. Duke game on 4 lg flat screen TV's grouped together to form one image. This morning we are taking it easy since we don't have to leave until 1:00 pm flight to LA and then from LA to Maui arriving about 8:30.
