Chicago

When Brianna and I received our flight itinerary to Uganda we saw that we were going to fly in and out of Chicago.  Being the adventuresome people that we are we decided to go to Chicago a few days early and enjoy the windy city.  Our flight was scheduled for Friday, June 3 so on Tuesday of that week we packed up and headed north.  We really enjoyed seeing the sites of Chicago and really, really enjoyed our free stay at the Embassy Suite hotel.  Yes I said FREE!  We put the points that Gary had collected on work trips to good use and stayed 3 nights for free!!  Woohoo!!

We enjoyed the Shedd aquarium the first day

 Octopus

 Crab legs anyone?

 We loved seeing all of the jellies

 Caleb and "Tannah" (that is what he calls her)

 Lake Michigan was full of sailboats

 On our 2nd day we went to the Skydeck at the Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower)

 We are 103 floors up

 Claire was not phased by the heights at all

 No trip to Chicago is complete without Chicago deep dish pizza!

My next post will start our Uganda stories.
