Chicago Trip Day 1

Yay for days off of school for Boards! I guess technically I should call it "Chicago Trip Half-day 1..." Our trip started Tuesday at about 3, when Jeremy was done with classes, and finished up Friday at about 3, when we got home. :)
The drive over went well - we stopped once for a quick dinner at Taco Bell, then went straight to the Chicago temple. It was cool, because I had never been to that one before. It was a little strange because it was so NOT busy inside (at 7 pm, a weekday after the holiday weekend). I usually go to either the Nauvoo temple or the Mesa one, and they tend to be pretty busy! Jeremy walked around with the kids for a while, then went and checked into our hotel for a little bit before coming back to get me. It was nearly 9 when I came out, but Reilly was insistent that he go IN the temple. I finally carried him into the lobby and let him look around. He was very good, and quiet, and really liked the pictures of Jesus. :)
Jaina was so trashed by the time we got settled in our hotel that she went to her pack 'n play and said "nigh-nigh!" Reilly, however, was still adjusting to being pacifier-less, and it took a little more effort and patience to get him to sleep, even though he was exhausted... (I don't know why that picture is sideways... it didn't even start out that way!)
