Chicago - 4th of July Weekend

Ah yes the "Windy City". This was our view as we drove into town. We had a busy weekend planned from the start, with lots of people to see, and things to do.

We had our first event, lunch with Stephanie's Friend, Eileen at Gino's East for some Chicago Style Pizza (Yum!) on Friday afternoon.

From there, we headed to stay with Kareem, Jessie and Natasha (newborn) on Friday night, and Sunday night.

We also stayed downtown Saturday night so that we can attend the Taste of Chicago, see Navy Pier and enjoy the city without having to drive out of it late at night. Also, met up with her friend Michelle for the Taste.

In the morning, we headed back to Kareem's for a 4th of July party with his family and a few of his friends on Sunday. On Monday bright and early, we left to drive straight home. The drive was long, but we did it with no problem, and got home to the puppies.

So, as you can see it was a pretty crazy schedule. We didn't even get to see everyone that we had hoped. I guess some plans had changed, and that sort of thing happens on a long holiday weekend.

It was a miracle we were able to fit what we did in. I enjoyed taking a bunch of pictures of the city and the people we met up with as we walked the "Magnificent Mile" and the Millennium Park.
