[CBFF] NBR - Intro

[senzigx4]

Wow! That was an exciting trip!!!  Amazing that no one was killed!!!  No
clue on the cell pix, though.  I have a ton of pix on mine and am in the
same boat, no idea how to get them off the phone... LOL

Sounds like it was fun, other then that incident...  My poor kids have yet
to get to the city.  Usually when we go to IL with the kids it is to visit
family and we don't make it into Chicago.  I am hoping to be able to get
them down there in the not-too-distant future.  My ds was mad, mad, mad at
us last year when we left them with friends to go to the Bears/San Fran game
and then again when we went to the fan convention.  We'll definately have to
bring them next time...LOL
