on day f o u r.

Thinking if I moved to a big city, say Chicago, Lincoln Park is the place I would live. Maybe in one of those beautiful old row houses a few blocks from the park and the zoo.

Wondering how much people in Chicago have to pay in taxes, to have beautiful little zoos that don't charge admission. The only money we spent today was on bus fare and lunch at a yummy little sandwich shop (across the street from my make-believe house.)

Tried to keep my rambunctious boys from touching all the delicate, rare flowering plants at the conservatory (which was adjacent to the zoo. and also free.)

Pushed the kids on the swings in a big, shady gated park and knew for sure I could live here with their big shady playgrounds (tons of parents there with their little kids) across from free zoos with amazing historic homes all around. (You will love it Krista.)
