Chicago Getaway!!!

Well, sometimes you just need to get away. Brian and I ventured to Chicago earlier this week. It was the first trip we've taken alone since we had Ty. We stayed 3 nights and had a great time. We saw several sights and actually saw a movie in the theater! We also slept in, which was marvelous. We got to see some snow and rough a Chicago winter. It was 4 degrees our first night there! We adjusted pretty well to it though. We missed the kids, but we really enjoyed having a chance to just spend time with each other with no responsibilities. Here are some highlights!
When they say deep dish pizza, they mean it!
John Hancock Building Observatory
Coolest Christmas Villiage Ever!
Tree of Lights
"Sue" the dinosaur at the Field Museum
The famous Bean sculpture
Dinner Out!
Santas from Abroad
Big 80 foot tree with snow falling!
Macy's

sounds like ya'll had a great time! we left emma for a night this weekend for our anniversary. it was fun, but i was wishing for longer! Emma gave grandma a run for her money though and by the time we got back (earlier than planned b/c grandma kept calling...) emma and grandma were both in tears. Oh well, better luck next time! hope to see you over the break!
