Chicago!
Tuesday, June 27th... We're in Chicago.
We are teaching the kids the important lessons of life... like how to play Black Jack. Hopefully by the time we get to Vegas, they can pay for this trip with their winnings. Eli got Black Jack twice in a row -- a good start!!
A Visit to the Grekin Farm
Outside Binghamton, NY live Steve and Toni Grekin. We arrived to find Shabbos dinner, a private swimming pond and a new card game for the kids to learn: BLACKJACK!
First Stop: Cooperstown - Baseball Hall of Fame
Eli Poses in front of the Astros display (He was on the Astros this year in Little League)
The baseball Hall of Fame was great, though the kids were less than enthralled with the displays of 1930's baseball memorablila and the history of sportswriting. Highlights were: Curt Shilling's bloody sock, the Red Sox locker, and the 15 minute movie.

We're off!
We hit the road, as planned, around 8:00 Friday morning. The Phat Ride (As the kids have named it) was expertly packed by Catherine and fueled up with one of those trucks you see at airports.
