Staycation

This is the week of our Spring Break and after a tough and rigorous winter and school year, I am fully aware of our families need for a break.
If you live in the Midwest then this is a time you feel the need to get south, to sun and warmth and beaches, golf and outdoor pools. However, with that brings travel, agendas, timing and a lot of planning (often, quite the opposite of a break).
So this year, we are opting for a visit to a city that some travel from all over the world to visit - our hometown Chicago. We are taking it slow, sleeping in, going for long walks and visiting museums and sites we haven’t seen. We’ll spend the 2nd half of the week back home - more rest, family time and game nights. Our surroundings won’t change much, but our routine will for sure. We are all looking forward to the beauty of “recharge” that rest, relaxation and slowing down brings - even if only for a week.
