We're taking a break from tearing around Chicagoland to enjoy the rays
at Foster Beach, possibly meeting up with some local homeschoolers in
the process. Gorgeous weather.

Looked at maybe 8 or 10 places yesterday. I'd love to do one of these
snazzy condos, but drums and dog will require a house, I think. Too bad,
because in our price range, we won't be living near anything very
walkable. And it will make Bill's commute significantly longer. I wonder
how much commuting is gonna cost, hadn't thought of that.

Got boys some Giodano's pizza last night... was hailed on Yelp as
transcendent but it was only eh. I'm seeing a LOT of different
ethnicities represented in little mom-n-pop places all over. Not so much
urban decay and boarded up places, but I might be missing those
neighborhoods.

Still no "I wanna live HERE" moments, but we're still hoping to narrow
down our option on this trip.

Drove by DePaul, looks like a nice place!

We bought some on the way in to the beach. It was a little windy, and the combo of water, oild and sand has created a layer of grit all over us. I can't wait to get into a shower!

Hope your preparations for Alaska are going well!
