June 1-3 my sister-in-law, Carol Lee, her sister Dawn, and her sorority sister, Judy, and I spent several days downtown Chicago enjoying the museums, the theater, and of course a bit of shopping.  We had just a GREAT time.  We stayed at the Ambassador Hotel just north of the Magnificent Mile.  I had never stayed that far north before, so was a bit anxious about transportation down to the Art Mueseum, Field Museum, and Millenium Park; everything worked out just perfect tho.  As there were four of us we took the taxi and didn't spend but about $10-12.00 each over the 3 days.  Did plenty of walking and of course, lots of delightful dining!  It was a lovely time with the "ladies"; am already planning when we might do it again.  Two experiences were stand outs for me:  drinks at the Signature Club Bar at the top of the Hancock Bldg., and the musical, Billy Elliott.  The young person playing Billy Elliott was absolutely outstanding.....I was amazed at the ability of this 11 year old.  So, if you get the chance to see this production, it's certainly worth it.
These 3 days were full of "Kodak Moments"......wonderful memory.
