We went on several vacations this summer that I didn't blog about, but I will go ahead and post about our trip to Chicago last weekend! For Jed's birthday I decided to surprise him with tickets to a Cubs game, which meant that we got to take a mini vacation to Chicago for Labor Day - and can I just say I had no idea how fun a city Chicago was! We went just about every place possible for a weekend trip including the Field Museum, the Chicago Institute of Art, the Willis Tower (formally the Sears Tower), Navy Pier, Millenium Park to see the Bean, a Jazz festival at Grant Park, the Lincoln Park Zoo, and of course Wrigley's Field. Here are some pictures from our fun weekend trip:
Me being a dinosaur with "Sue" at the Field Museum
Jed with some man-eating Lions at the Field Museum
Me in the surprising frightening glass box at the top of the Willis Tower
In front of Buckingham Fountain at Grant Park
And of course, at Wrigley's Field!
Sadly we are now back in school so our fun vacation time is somewhat limited, but at least we got a good one in before things got too crazy!
Yea! You posted. I can't believe how much you crammed into that weekend trip. We visited Chicago while Jesse was in med school and it was so much fun. Looks like you're making the most of what little vacation time you get together! Miss you guys.
ReplyDeleteWe had a blast - we've already said we'll definitely have to make another trip over to Chicago while were here. I hope you guys are loving St. Louis! We miss you!
