Naperville today

Out to Naperville to pick up something from Border's. Do you know they have little figures of "The Nightmare Before Christmas" characters? I had to have them for Dan and Danielle. There's Jack Skellington, Sally, Lock and Barrell, Shock and Zero, Dr. Finklestein, and Oogie Boogie! Then, because we were there, we had lunch at "Lou Malnati's".

Knew we were having pizza and the salad sounded so good, we had to have it.

And it was so good! The Malnati Salad with romaine lettuce, diced tomatoes, black olives, sliced mushrooms, crumbled Volpi salami and gorgonzola cheese. Tossed with Lou's famous Sweet Vinaigrette with a touch of romano cheese. Just yummy!

And Deep Dish Pizza!

That called for a walk down the block, past the Nichols Library, to see "The Cat In The Hat". He is an 8 foot tall sculpture of Dr. Seuss' wonderful character. "Nine of these sculptures were commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first publishing of the book, but this is the only sculpture available to the public." Sculptor: Leo Rijn.

I love driving past that sculpture and seeing people pose with it! Your posts make me hungry!
