'Cindycation' Day 2

Temperatures got up to about 30 today so that's a heat wave compared to yesterday. E looks a lot colder in this picture than it actually was outside. We took Cindy downtown, first to Macy's (we now have matching sweaters), then Old Navy, then to the Christkindlmarket. The Berlin Christmas market was terrorized yesterday so the Chicago police had a heavy presence at the market today with their cars and trucks blocking all entrances to the market to prevent a similar attack. We felt really safe.

Cindy's first order of business was to get herself mulled wine in a souvenir mug.

Then she had to get a big German pretzel.

And, after that, we went to lunch at Giordano's downtown.

Meanwhile, Andy was having his office attorneys' holiday lunch. He got an Amazon Echo Dot as a Christmas present. The kids were pretty excited about that. I'm not sure what it does ... yet.

And for dinner we went to Margaritas. B stayed home to study for finals - he has three tomorrow - but L is pretty confident with her classes so she came along.
