Finally, a post about our trip to Chicago. Chad and I traveled WITHOUT kids to meet up with my brother and sister in law in Chicago. My oldest brother got married in Michigan City over the weekend but we took advantage of an opportunity to visit a city that we had never been to before. So we flew down a few days early to have some free time in the city. It was so. much. fun! We were able to be on our own schedule, eat meals without distractions (with NO cleanup afterwards!), and we had a great time hanging out with William and Bonnie. Bonnie did a great job with the details of the trip
HERE.
We took a boat tour of the city, ate lots of deep dish pizza (AMAZING!), ate some hotdogs Chicago-style, and did LOTS of laughing!!
After spending 2 days in the city, we drove an hour and a half to Michigan City for the wedding. There was a 5K planned for the morning of the wedding, so I actually ran almost all of it! I couldn't believe it because I haven't really run since Grayson was born! Running along the shoreline was beautiful and it was fun getting to know some of their friends along the way.
Even Daddymac and Grandmama made the trip to be a part of the wedding.
Once again, Bonnie's
RECAP has much more detail! It was a beautiful wedding and my brother and new sis in law could not be happier!! We are so blessed to have Sarah as an addition to our family!
Oh yeah, and I must not forget to give a HUGE THANK YOU to Chad's parents for coming to stay at our house with our kiddos and dog while we were gone!!
