In late August, Camp McKinney (aka: my mom and Mark) came to Colorado to stay with Harper and Riley while Caleb and I traveled to Chicago for our first weekend away from the girls ever! We went to visit our friends Stacey and Darren (who live there) and Cindy and Todd (who traveled from Texas) and had SO MUCH fun! Our travel guides were spectacular and took us to see a lot of cool Chicago sites. We had drinks at the top of the Hancock building, saw a Lichtenstein exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago, walked along Michigan Avenue, went to hear orchestral music at a Concert in the Park, took pictures in front of Wrigley Field and the Bean, saw the Blue Angels fly above us (part of the Air and Water show that was going on that weekend) and went to the Shedd Aquarium (one of my favorite parts of the trip!) We also went to two awesome restaurants, and of course had to partake in some famous Chicago hot dogs and deep dish pizza while we were there. We had SUCH a fun time...thank you so much Stace and Darren for showing us around!! :)
