Feel free to visit my blog and not worry about paying for or contacting me at my spaces blog christophermmcmillan period spaces period live period com Here is my end of year update for 2007 Chris and I did some travelling this year. Chicago in March was freezing cold, but fun. If you like visiting cities, it certainly is top on our list. I have to tell you a little more about the trip because the whole thing is how I think the world should work. We went because Chris wanted to take me to the Science museum he remembered as a kid. At the same time, a special exhibit was there called BodyWorlds. This is all about human anatomy, siliconized bodies and parts down to minute levels. Gruesome to some, yet an awesome opportunity for those of us who love and work with anatomy and physiology. During the same trip, we got to see a hockey game, Detroit Redwings vs. Chicago Blackhawks.

This is a client whom I look forward to seeing. And, let me tell you about those tickets! We were 6 rows off the ice behind the team bench! Chris could actually see the puck and some of the plays!!! We had a downtown hotel for $99.00 a night, the plane trip was about the same and we used our feet and the subway/buses to travel. Back to our adventures for the year. For Chris¿s 40th birthday, we ended up in the Poconos, PA. There is a delightful little water park there called CamelBeach, set in the mountain. We had fun at an amusement park too, Dorney, and all kinds of outdoor activities. During the year, we also visited several new parts of CT, chasing ancestors. The interred ones don¿t move too fast! Once you get off this awful Rt 95 corridor, there are many remaining colonial towns here in CT. Lots of rolling hills, neat old barns, churches, and town halls.
