Lollapalooza Day 2



Note:  this post is more of an ad for Lollapalooza and the Shedd Aquarium than a post for a "running" blog :)

Mission accomplished! Saw FUN! and had fun on Saturday!  


Bree is "fested out" so will not be seeing "Florence and the Machine" tonight.  Two days of festing has worn me out too...did NOT run my 13 miles this morning so I will have to run this afternoon/evening when I get home.  I will have to "dig deep" to find the motivation to run 13 today!




Started Saturday with a long overdue visit to the Shedd Aquarim.  Tip for the day...buy a membership and skip the line!  There must have been 200 people waiting to buy tickets.  They have an peguin encounter too but we have to wait until October 13th for our encounter.  It must be very popular and Bree is excited!

Bree with the latest addition to her enormous stuffed animal collection.  They all grow up eventually but Bree still loves her stuffed animals :)




As always Lollapalooza is entertaining in many ways...


Severe weather closes Lolla for the first time ever!

Flash mob at CSV pharmacy after closing. Funny scene with everyone stocking up on liquor and snacks to wait out the storm.




Great storm watching from our hotel room!  Luckily I had "provisions"-- snacks, water and of course a bottle of Cabernet :)





Video of Lolla reopening after the storm...everyone is excited to start Festing again!






FUN! videos are posted......and the off key singing voice in the background is definitely not mine :)  More videos and photos most likely tomorrow....I am supposed to be out running 13 miles but I am procrastinating and posting instead :)




Your friend Newbie,
