Sunday at The Morton’s

April 23, 2007 in Family, Wife

Sunday was a great day in Chicagoland. The sun was out, between 80 and 90 degrees, not humid; just a plain old good day. So my wife and I decided to visit a place in Lisle, IL called the Morton Arboretum. We orginally planned to go to Kansas City and hang out at the International House of Prayer for about 3 days but the current situation at our home kind of prohibited it.

I am not going to bore you with the history of the Arboretum because you can go to the link and view it for yourself. However, here is one item I did not know until visiting the place. Joy Morton is not a woman. Anyways, my wife and I had a great time. We needed to get out together and she needed to get away from trying to put a wrapper on her latest book (the third in three years). It was just the place and just the time for a visit. I think we’ll be going back in another couple of months after a few more things have bloomed. They have trees, flowers and other plants from almost every place in the Northern Hemisphere (with certain areas excluded), the key being these things need to be able to also grow in Chicago. Here’s another fact, I have lived in the Chicago area almost all my life and this is the first time I have ever visited. Why? I don’t know. Very nice time for me and my wife (The Greatest Among 10,000).
