The Windy City

In June we were able to go to Chicago with our good friends Donald and Angie. We had a blast with them. Chad and Donald met on their missions and have remained close since then. We are blessed to have them as friends. So we left on Friday morning and came home on a Tues. Mom and Dad were kind enough to keep our kids for us. We stayed at a hotel called the Blake. It was really nice, the bed was awesome. We were able to go to the cubs game at Wrigley field which was an awesome experience. Wrigley is a lot different the Chase field here at home. Its cool how its just about the game there. No big jumbo trons and loud music the fans are loud enough. Anyways we shopped and ate and saw some sites, and ate and walked and ate. I felt like we ate a ton. We went to Ditkas restaurant which was a cool place with tons of sports memorabilia. We took a boat tour along the river that was so interesting. There is a ton of amazing architecture there. We went to sears tower and to the United Center to pose with MJ himself. Sunday was my favorite though Chad got his hands on tickets to the play Wicked. It was so good. Donald and Anj had already seen it but were nice enough to go again with us. We went to the movies, got a massage, played cards and basically just thoroughly enjoyed seeing all there was to see and spending time with the Pisciottas. Thanks Chad for all you do so that our family can be blessed with these opportunities. It was so fun to spend time and experience new things with you. We were totally excited to get home and see the kids though.

We took this ourselves, kinda scary

This was on the ferry tour we took. It was awesome!

All the shopping wore Chad out. The magnificent mile was awesome.
