Heading to Chicago to Pick up Aunt Sarah

Favourite niece Corie planned to get married this weekend. Her cousin Sarah (my goddaughter)planned to fly in from LA. Sarah's mother and I planned to drive to O'Hara to pick her up. The times worked out fine. Mary got off work and while Sarah was flying across the US,we'd be flying across Illinois. I got onto American Airlines website and got the times of the flight. I saw down at the bottom of the page that you could get text updates. Sure. Signed up for that. Well Mary picked me up and off we headed for Chicago. As we leave I get a text. Flight is delayed 1/2hr. Ok takes some pressure off us to hurry. Then I get another. Maybe a hour delay. Sarah calls and tells us they have to empty the bathroom or something strange like that. So now we have almost two hours to kill and we are half way to the airport. So we turn on the good old GPS and see what's near by. We decide on the casino in Aurora.We both got players cards. I won $100. Not bad when your in the middle of unemployment. Didn't really win anything.

At the Dekalb Oasis.Wasn't there the last time we stopped.

The parking garage of the Hollywood Casino. Bigger then the casion
The figure head in the bridge over the river next to the casino. I think it the Fox River

The Casino it self.

Hollywood Casino so they had costumes from Hollywood Movies. This was Vivian Leigh's dress from Cleopatra. No Gone With The Wind

The parking ramp at the airport. I think this is fitting.The unlucky Cubs.

Breast Cancer month. They even had one of the towers spotlighted in pink
Just odd...and its sheep
