Driving with Daddy

I'm preparing to head to Chicago for work in a couple of weeks. When I get there my parents are going to pick me up and we'll spend Saturday together before I have my conference Sunday through Wednesday. They don't know it, but after they pick me up from the airport I'm planning to make them do something cultural or fun with me in the city, then we can do dinner and they can call it a night and head back to the 'burbs.

I had the CRAZIEST dream last night. In my dream my parents ahd picked me up and we were heading downtown. I hadn't printed out a map to the hotel because I sort of know where it is and I thought my dad knew. In my dream we were driving around and he was telling me how it wasn't in the greatest neighborhood. Meanwhile I'm thinking to myself Dad I think we just drove by it, it is in a great neighborhood - it is downtown silly! So, in said dream he kept going and took me to the ghetto but couldn't find the hotel. OF course in my dream the ghetto was a disaster zone - the interstate was covered in papers.

I'm not sure what my dream means - maybe the fast lane in life is coverd with papers and junk? But, I do know that whenever my dad goes somewhere he CAN find the ghetto. Hello, memories of Chinatown in Philly and Who knew there was a maximum security prison in Amish Country - Dad found it!!!
