Exploring the city of Chicago and going to Alison & Chris' couple's shower

We took the L downtown and did some sightseeing and shopping.


Chicago has some really great green spaces. We'd love to take a nap here!




The "bean."


Where are we? Can you find us?


Hello!


Too big to pinch!


Jenn in front of the Chicago River, her first trip to Chi town!


Maybe we should have traveled with a big pitch fork?!


Metal moose in downtown Chicago...interesting.


With the soon to be married couple at their couple's shower! What a treat to be there!!


Future bride + Maid of honor (Yeah!!)


Jenn, me, and Al enjoying the beautiful Munster weather before heading inside for delicious, homemade food and a whole slew of presents.


Al and Chris just before they began the present-opening extravaganza!


Amy, Al's sister-in-law, preparing the ribbon bouquet, while I wrote down names and gifts galore. It was getting a wee bit toasty in that room; thus the rosy cheeks!


Al and Chris reading one of the cards I gave them.


With the coffee mugs I got for them. Mmmm, coffee. I can't wait to use those when I visit their new condo!

  1. The coffee mugs are in the dishwasher awaiting their first washing before they're put in the cabinets and ready for use!
