We have been trying to get down to visit Mary (and family) for the past 6 months. Both times we had a date set (once over Christmas Break and once over Spring Break) Grace came down with a fever. (Totally random as our kids are actually usually very healthy.) Well good news, we finally made the trip and Grace didn't get a fever until the day we left.(HOW IRONIC IS THAT??) We had a great time at Navy Pier, Chicago Children's Museum, Michigan Ave and a super fun candy store, meeting Amelia, Deep Dish Pizza, and Taste of Chicago. Wow... and thanks to Mary, Alexander and Amelia, we were able to visit Chicago for under $180. Great family getaway!
All set to head to Grandpas and Grandmas to drop off Gus!
Deep dish pizza! YUM!
Taste of Chicago....Ryan's pick... pickle on a stick!
Taste of Chicago... Ava's pick... BACON on a stick! She said it was AMAZING!
Dinner with a view. Do you know how much joy this brings to children? We loved watching the cars/trucks drive under us on the bridge. And getting to eat french fries? In heaven. Who ever invented the idea of this oasis, is one smart cookie? It really is the little things in life!
