Finishing up our summer in Chicago 2013

Okay, here goes my catch up. We'll start with finishing up in Chicago.

Dave and I really enjoyed living in Chicago for the summer. Dave liked his internship, Chicago is a really fun city with yummy food and we were close to Dave's family.

We made some good friends while there---including Mani & Richard. We tried a greek restaurant with them that was pretty good. And Mani joined Marcus and I when we went to the zoo and Ikea. She also invited us to her pool---which was right by O'Hare---so Marcus loved all the planes that flew over us in the pool!

 Mani & Richard

 Marcus ate out way too much this summer :)


We went to the Museum of Science and Industry during our last couple of days. When/if we move back to Chicago permanently we will definitely get a membership there---it's so cool! Marcus loved it too.
 Our future astronaut.

 Dave seeing what it's like to be a hamster. I think he was scolded for stepping too high :)

 Marcus loved the trains of course!


We also went to a White Socks baseball game again during our last couple weeks. Marcus is a big baseball fan now. Favorite team to be determined :)


We were able to stay in a suite that had tons of yummy food. We were so spoiled! Go White Sox!!

Daddy and Marcus enjoying the game! I think we even played the Tigers this night---so Dave loved that!!

 It was actually his third, but we didn't bother getting a certificate until then :)



We went to the top of the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower). I believe it is still the tallest building in the U.S. 103 floors!

 Waiting to go up the elevator.

 Marcus not so willing to pose for a picture---and my face is me telling him to smile or something. A bit embarrassing :)

  Looking down, 103 floors!


We loved Chicago! And we look forward to settling down there some day---we'll see how long that takes! Our summer was great, but we were ready to head back to Boston in the end :)
