We are back!

The weather was horrible in Chicago this weekend. It was downright cold. Friday when we arrived it was warm sunny and wonderful. When we woke Saturday it had dropped to the 30's and was snowing. It continued to snow all day. So we bundled up and headed to the trolly tour. Which lead us to the Museaum. We had a good time just spending time with one another. Joe and I realized that we had only been away once alone in the close to 5 years we have been married and that was our honey moon. Although we missed everyone who couldn't make it we are really excited to go later this year and have some fun all together.

This is the Field Museum. I hadn't been to the museum since I was in grade school and it's so cool as an adult. I had a good time although the Underground Exhibit scared me lol. The first picture with Joe is part of that exhibit. As I turned around I got a glimpse of that thing in the next pic! And they also moved...I was so scared of the huge spider I didn't even take a pictures lol! I am such a girl!






























Joe wanted to check our Wrigley field although he is not a cubs fan. I tried several time to buy cubs gear and he refused. lol


The old Chicago movie Theater


We were fortunate that we choose to go to the John Hancock observatory the first day. They only clear sunny day the whole time and we got a good view from the top. This is a shot of Lake Shore Dr. (where Oprah's house is) and Lake Michigan.



Awesome view! The elevator goes from the ground floor to the top in 38 seconds. It travels at 20mph. Going up was not really a problem. It was going down that I was holding on for lol.
