Chicago Trip

We took a trip up to Chicago to visit my sister this past weekend and to just get away for a few days. She recently bought a house in one of the suburbs and it was nice to finally see it. We were able to bring Rascal as well, which was nice. We really had a good time. On Saturday she took us to downtown Naperville which was such a neat place to go. It is block-after-block full of nice shops and parks. On Sunday, we went into the city and toured Millenium Park, walked through downtown and Michigan Avenue, and then walked to Lake Michigan to watch the air show. We did a lot of walking, but it was a great day for it. Jacob did so well in his stroller and loves to people-watch so he was good to go. We came home Monday afternoon after doing some shopping for Jacob at a Carter's outlet store for some fall/winter clothes for him. It was a great weekend and always nice to see Sharla. She loves helping out with Jacob so Dan and I got a bit of break with the extra hands. Jacob had such a good time during the day that it was hard to get him to go to sleep at night because he didn't want the fun to end!
