You Can Call Us the Bumpkins

True to form, Chicago O’Hare came through for us yesterday. We got bumped! In addition to getting the free tickets, it was actually kind of nice to take a break from flying. My flight from Stockholm was 9 hours so I wasn’t exactly in a hurry to jump back on another plane. United put us up in a hotel, gave us meal vouchers, first class seats on the next flight, and three free roundtrip tickets. Love it.



So, we dropped our bags at the hotel and grabbed a train to downtown Chicago.



It was a gorgeous, warm and sunny day so we went down to Navy Pier and played around. Soren of course found the train ride within about 3 minutes of getting there.



And we enjoyed playing with the trick mirrors.






This, by the way, is what I’d look like if I were a supermodel.



This morning we went back out to the airport and they were again asking for volunteers. I really needed to get to work today, but Soren and Peter volunteered. Right now it looks like they’ll get back home tonight…but who knows, if the trend continues it may be awhile before they get out of O’Hare.
