Chicago

We finally made it back to Chicago this May to visit all of Michael's family and introduce Claire to the fam. What a fantastic trip. We had so much fun but really needed to stay about a month to get in all of the visiting and sightseeing that we wanted to do. Even though it was only a little over a week, we did get to do and see so much. We spent time with both sides of the family (The Ryan's and the August's) and even stayed a night in the city with our good friend Kevin. We took Claire to the Shedd Aquarium, the Field Museum, the Adler Planetarium, Millenium Park, and other various places of interest around Chicago. I don't even know where to begin so I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Shedd Aquarium, Millenium Park, etc.

Claire loved the Aquarium and Michael had fun capturing photos of the sea creatures. Here is a nice shot of a miniature seahorse...

Chicago's new Millenium Park was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. We loved the water feature and the "Bean" sculpture. Here is the fam in front of the Bean...

And more photos for your viewing pleasure...



Well there is the summary of our trip. We can't wait to go back, but in the meantime, we love visitors!!! Thanks again everyone for letting us stay and for all of the gifts for Claire, we really appreciate everything. Can't wait to see you all again!
