Here we are on Lake Michigan on a boat tour of Chicago. Thanks B and Courtney!
Brandon and Courtney on our tour of downtown Chicago


Chicago, Chicago----

The first time I was there I was only ten, and that was for a wedding, so I was more mesmerized by the bride than Chicago.
This time I could really enjoy the city and our family who lives there. Brandon and Courtney live in a great place, near the El, on a street with lots of cafes and little shops. Great fun!



Courtney and Barkley often rollerblade to the grocery store, just a few blocks away.

Saturday night we visited Jane, Courtney's mom, and had a fresh, delicious meal at her house. We so enjoyed our time together.

Our return trip was different than planned because our flight out of Chicago was delayed, causing us to miss our connecting flight to ATL, where our car was parked. We made it to Charlotte, rented a car, and drove to Greenville. At 4:30AM the next day, David walked to the train station, rode the train to ATL, rode the Marta to the airport to get our car, and went the the same process in reverse order to finally get us and our car back home.
