Chicago here we come

The Raghurams headed for Chicago on Wednesday. First family vacation and Vivek's first plane ride. A lot of firsts. Excitement galore.

Our flight was out of Tulsa Airport at 5 pm. We left Stillwater at 2pm. It is a 90 min ride to the airport. We made it well in time tothe airport. Raghu got home after teaching and then we loaded the car and off we were. Vivek did really well in the car. He slept thru the ride. What a sweetheart!!!

Here is a picture of us at the Tulsa airport.

The flight to Chicago was not full so the air hostess let us sit with the car seat ... we had three seats. We reached Chicago O Hare close to 7 pm. Vivek was amazing all thru the flight. He slept!!! We took an Airport Shuttle to our Hotel downtown. We are staying at The Crowne Plaza located in Greektown. By the time we got to the hotel we were dead tired. We washed up and headed down to Greektown for dinner. We grabbed a couple of rolls and some Greek salad. Too tired to eat out in a restaurant. The rooms were comfortable and we decided to chill in front of the TV. Also a 24 hr grocery store - Dominicks was close by, we went there and picked up some fruits... just to eat healthy:)

The conference starts only on Friday so Raghu had a free day with family before work takes over. Oh Yeah... we are in Chicago because Raghu has a two day conference. Math of course.

Well sleep time... more tomorrow.
