On the road again...

Our latest trip was to Chicago in September.  Tony's cousins (Joe & Kim) were celebrating their 10 yr. wedding anniversary and were kind enough to invite us along!  I, of course, jumped at the chance and after some conviencing and finding great plane tickets Tony was on board!  We had been there the year before celebrating our one year anniversary and had a blast! 
We had quite the crew on this trip which made it that much better.  Tony's other cousin Jake and his fiance Alaina and Joe & Kim's neighbors in Oklahoma came along.  One of Jake's clients owns a beautiful house in Lincoln Park and let us all stay there for free!  Such an adorable little neighborhood filled with soccer mom's and strollers. 

The weather was wonderful and we walked quite a bit ... I had blisters to prove it.  Mostly, we braved the subway and ran into our fair share of problems.... mostly with hopping on the wrong direction.  Tony and I were on the verge of killing each other as we headed the wrong way WHILE lugging our HUGE  bags from the airport when we got into town.  Jake & Alaina got a tour of Chicago on accident one afternoon.  But Kim was always enjoying life on the subway... see below. 

We headed to Wrigleyville when we got into town to have ourselves a well-deserved Old Style (remember the luggage/subway story). 

We enjoyed a few beverages out on Navy Pier.  There was a band playing and it was sunny.  I probably could have spent all day there...

We also visited the John Hancock building again this year.  It was Tony and I's favorite thing to do last year.  The 95th story is called the Signature Lounge and you can have dinner, appetizers, or just a drink while looking over the whole city. 

It was such a fun trip with such fun people!  Where are we going next year???  :)
