Gene and I left Vicksburg last Sunday morning at 4:30am and were in Chicago by 8:00am! I had a reading conference and Gene got to tag along! A huge thanks goes to Nana and Papa for keeping the kids while we were gone! We had the best time. We were very impressed with the city and can't wait to go back! The food was amazing! We did not eat a single meal that we didn't love! One meal was at the Melting Pot (a fondue restaurant) which was a first for us. We left super stuffed and loved it so much that we went back the night before we left just for chocolate!
We walked most everywhere and the weather couldn't have been more perfect. We visited the Field Musuem, the Lincoln Park Zoo (which was free and awesome!), the John Hancock building, Navy Pier, and tons of shops. We also went to a Chicago Bulls game which was our first NBA game. It was tons of fun!
We are glad to be home but can't wait to go back!

The pictures are great, and it's obvious y'all had a fun time! I'm sure the kiddos were happy to see you two, though...and vice versa!
Glad y'all had a good trip!
Ah Chicago! That is one of my favorite cities! Looks like yall had a great time! Wish I could have been with you!
So much fun. Will had to go there when I was pregnant with MB and I did not get to go. He was gone for two weeks. He had a great time but was a little lonly.
Love Chicago! So much fun. And big fan of the Melting Pot. We ate at one in Myrtle Beach. I don't know if I have ever eaten that much food, but it was so yummy! Glad ya'll had fun!
