Shoeaholic Alert!
Our overnight hotel in Chicago was right across from a shopping mall and a DSW (for those not savvy, DSW = Designer Shoe Warehouse). It would have been a landmark day on the calendar for Lori to stay the night across the street from a shoe store, but not go in. However, we ended up there anyway.
As we were walking across the street to the mall to pick up some items that were not packed with the carry-on (Joel did not anticipate the canceled flights, etc), Lori's shoe broke! So, we turned around and headed for the shoe store. We could have sold tickets as we walked across Skokie Blvd with Lori only wearing one shoe.
Somehow, our shoe and weather karma has ensured a memorable end to our vacation. We are now waiting for the departure for our flight home. Hopefully we have enough airline karma to get home tonight.
