Another staycation Spring Break: Great Wolf Lodge, the exhibition of Pompeii at MSI, Databricks Chicago office followed by a Metra ride back home (only to find ourselves locked out of the house), and the WNDR Museum.

With his first hockey season approaching the end, Randall is officially 9.
Swim. Pool games. Iguanas stealing lunch. Argentinian friend. Gigantic wave pool (a.k.a., the ocean). Seafood paella. Piña colada (virgin or not). Gelato. Sculptures by Richard Orlinski. Shells. Flamingo park.
Same old routine, yet how he has grown.
Mom: I still miss the old times when you were a cute little baby.
Randall: Those were the past. Get over it.
