Souvenirs

When I was in Chicago, I made it a point to seek out gifts the kids would enjoy:

- a school bus that said "Chicago" for Connor
- winter gloves for Ari (he's currently doing a hibernation unit at school)
- a snowglobe for Xander

Each gift was a hit.

And then...

Connor reached for and broke the snowglobe.

Xander was devastated.

It was not to be found on Amazon.

It was not to be found on Google Shopping.

I finally called the hotel gift shop where I bought it in the first place, pleaded my case, and outright begged.

They're FedExing us a new one on Monday.
