A brisk walk to our hotel then we were all off to various activities from shopping at Marshall Fields, Navy Pier and Architechical tours to visits to the Art Museum. Before supper we met and welcomed Sandy and Mary from pink hatters into the official circle of the REDS. It was a touching ceremony, with a few tears shed. Sue became our center of attention with her pink, obviously showing the rest of our trip as she remained the only pink amoung us.
The Lion King! WOW! We were all in awe, none of us barely stopping to breath between the, "Ahhhhhs!" It was magnificent!!!! There are no words to describe our feelings for the show. We all brought home many treasures from the play.
After the show it was off to lunch at the 312 Chicago. Our waiter was a cutie and we were wild with excitement discussing the play. The food was great and again a wonderful time was had by all.
We all talked on our ride home about what a great itme we had . . . although some of us nearly missed the train home, thank-you slow man at the hotel!!! But. . . patience prevailed again and Sandy did not have to lay down on the tracks to stop the train for us!!!
The best part of our trip, in addition to our obvious sharing of sisterhood, which in itself was awesome, was the compliments we received. Everyone, I mean from the young to the old to . . . everyone on the streets complimented us on our attire and our sisterhood and celebration of wearing of the colors! It was such a warm feeling to see so many people not only ask what we were all about, but also want to join . . . Ladies, we are making strides by leaps and bounds!!! Again, a great time by all and The Reds and the Wantabes are ready to do it again! Vegas in 2004!!!
