TRIP TO CHICAGO

After a long week of studying for Nate and window washing until midnight for the last 5 days straight (the both of us). Nate and I went on a much needed weekend trip to Chicago to visit my sister Colette and her husband Eric who are living there for the summer. And not to mention our last vacation before the little one arrives. We had a blast, hanging out with Colette and Eric. We went on a boat tour of Chicago's architecture, checked out some cool parks, ate some Chicago deep dish pizza and Chicago style hot dogs, went to the field museum and checked out a cool exhibit on Darwin and evolution and just saw some cool sights of the city. I really enjoyed Chicago and will defiantly go back there one of these days. Thanks for the fun Colette and Eric!

Oh my gosh- did you guys drive or fly? I'm totally wanting to still travel when i'm as far along as you, but i'm kinda nervous! How many weeks left till your baby boy comes? (and i'm finally half way- 20 weeks for us!)

Looks like fun! Once again...you are so cute pregnant! Can't wait for that little one to be here already! :)

Looks like you guys had a great time. That's so nice you were able to get out on a vacation before the baby comes. Good Luck through the next few weeks!

I really like how we are all wearing brown at the field museum. That is pretty impressive.
