Chicago

Seth and I had the opprotunity to go to Milwaukee and then to chicago a few weeks ago to visit my brothers. I had never been back there so it was great to see their houses and environment for the first time and to also experience Chicago.


It was a little chilli in Chicago but amazing. We visited Bob and Virginia's favorite art studio and gained an appreciation for the art that they love. I fell in love with a few pieces myself. We enjoyed great dinners and desserts and conversations. We also managed to get in a little shopping. They took us to see the play Wicked which was their fourth time seeing the play but Seth and I's first time and we loved it.





It was also great to spend time with my brother Steve and his family. This is my cute neice Hallee and we loved seeing their home and all the improvements they have made to it. I never saw the before product, but I can tell they have been doing a lot of work. How great it was to spend time with my brothers and their families. Too see my newest nephew, Hunter, and to get to know them a little better.


It is so wonderful that they have each other there. We were able to be in on their Thursday night T.V. watching where they watch Survivor and the Office, which is two of our favorite shows as well. It is always great to analyze the Survivor show. I love these guys and I'm so glad for the opprotunity we had to go hang with them for a weekend.
