Chicago Land!

Yesterday we visited Chicago with Peli & Joshua and their two girls, olivia and adelaide.  We took the train from zion, Illinois early in the morning and arrived in Chicago about an hour and a half later.  It was so nice because there was no traffic and we just got to hang out together without any stress from the roads!  Our trip was wonderful- We took the famous Gilmore tour- Millennium Park with the Millennium fountains, the bean, the Buckingham fountain, The navy Pier,  & we also saw the sears tower.  Then, later on that afternoon, the Gilmores left us and shawn and I explored by ourselves.  We were on a mission for Chicago's best Chicago Dog, which we found at Portillo's.  We also rode the El to Chicago's ChinaTown!  After we got back from Chicago, we ordered The famous Chicago Deep Dish Pizza and relaxed.  The day was so hectic, lots of walking, but so much fun!  Thank you, Joshua and Peli for the wonderful memories:)
Almost got run over taking this!
