May 25-26
We went to Chicago for Memorial Day. We met up with some college friends and some of Lisa's high-school friends. We started the trip off on Sunday afternoon and had very little traffic the entire way to Grant's place, where we met his girlfriend Julie. We then met up with Rena and her boyfriend Zach (Zock) and headed to a little Italian restaurant for dinner. After dinner we headed over to see Marcie, her place and also meet the team that she is doing Mission Year with. We played a game and had fun that night. On Monday we got up and had breakfast at Grant's place. Grant was quite the host making up a smorgasbord of food. Then we headed downtown to Michigan Ave where we stopped inside a few stores to just look around. Then we walked down to Buckingham Fountain and then walked over to the walkway the runs along the lake. We headed up to Navy Pier and spent our time just enjoying the nice weather and talking with Grant and Marcie. We grabbed a bite to eat at the Pier and then headed back to Grant's. We stayed a bit talking and playing cards and then we packed up the car and headed home. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone and we even ended up with a little sunburn because of how nice the weather was! Here are some
pictures from our trip.
