We both had the day off, actually I was on call but never got paged. So while everyone else is shopping with the demented hordes, we decide to take the dogs to Gary's Marquette Park. We parked at the ram-shackled but still impressive bath house on the beach. It looks like some renovations have been done lately, but much more work is needed. We walked down the beach toward the Lake Street beach. It was a sunny but chilly morning. The lake had about four foot waves with white caps, only Roxy went into the water. She seemed very excited to be at the beach, we have no idea if she has ever been on a beach. On the way back to the car, we walked around the bath house now known as The Aquatorium. There is a memorial & a statue for the Tuskegee Airman from WWII that were very cool to see. There is also a statue of Octave Chanute who helped the Wright Brothers with early plane designs. An interesting visit to Gary today. We ended the day enjoying pizza and beer with Todd & Vicki. Vicki wanted her favorite pizza from her childhood, Papa Damiani's in Dolton, so they picked it up on the way to our house. It was really good pizza. We laughed the night away and once again Todd tried to get Chrissy and Vicki to kiss but we had to settle on them hugging each other which Todd took as a positive sign in the right direction.
