I can trace my love of travel to the 1987 classic <em>The Chipmunk Adventure </em>featuring not only the chipmunks but their girl counter parts: the Chipettes.  So when I saw these statues at our local theatre, I couldn’t stop grinning.  It’s still a bit chilly in Chicago so the winter outfits have not been completely retired.
