But I didn’t want to do any of those things.
What did I want to do? I wanted to go search for Waldo. Yes, Waldo. The star of the “Where’s Waldo?” children’s books, and four of his friends, were wandering the Millennium Park/Grant Park area between 4-6 today, and there was a contest to try to be one of the first 15 people to find Waldo and snap his picture. (If you did, you’d win an enlarged, screen-printed poster of one of the pages from the books.)
Now, I didn’t care about the contest—I just wanted to find Waldo!
And after about 10 minutes of wandering through Millennium Park, I spotted him!
I punched Iwanski in the arm and yelled excitedly, “There he is!”
We rushed over, and I was thrilled to have my picture taken with Waldo himself.
It truly is the little things that make life worth living.

Anita--I thought it was great fun--and yes, the Taste always has awesome food! :)
Steph--nope, we didn't even try to win--we were just in it to have fun. *smiles*

Oh my gosh! You found him! I have been looking for years and there he is.
Kind of hard to miss with that red striped shirt isn't he? ;-)
