Waits Family Visit

Team Whitney got some bonus Waits family time both before and after the all-family get-together in Aurora. The festivities began, as one might expect, with stuffed pizza enjoyed by all. In this instance, we took some tomato and cheese stuffed pie from Giordano's over to Millennium Park and got our grub on.
Allison took on most of the Hamilton watching duties for the night and did a great job (we tipped her in pizza).
We all returned to Chicago from our time in Aurora and spent the next day working our way to the Chicago History Museum. Along the way, the girls got their introduction to the squishy world of sushi.Allison made a valiant effort and seemed to enjoy some tuna.
Emily was equally valiant, although noticeably less enthusiastic about the overall experience.
We had no doubt about Hamilton's excitement, however, when he was offered some whipped cream by his Aunt Cristina at the Cheesecake Factory.
When we got to the museum, we enjoyed seeing the latest in cutting edge racing bicycle technology.
Allison finally realized what it would be like to actually be an Oscar Meyer wiener (a reference about twenty years before her time, I fear).
Hamilton found some hex screws holding together a display and thought it would be best to disassemble it.
We ended the day playing Dance Dance Revolution back at the house and then saw the Waitses off to the airport the next day. A good time was had by all, but a lot of energy was spent!
