Memorial Day Weekend


Memorial Day Weekend

We are a little behind in the blogging so I will be catching up. :)

For Memorial Day weekend we decided to head to Chicago and Springfield, IL.  We thought Chicago was a fun place to visit but wouldn't want to live their. Here are a few pictures of our trip.


We took a "Gangster" tour that drove us pretty much everywhere around Chicago. It was very entertaining and fun. I highly recommend it.

Our awesome and funny tour guides.

Holy Name Cathedral

The gangster John Dillinger was shot and killed here.





Lake Michigan

 We thought it was going to be brown and ugly but it was a very pretty blue.
This was walking down the Navy Pier which was one of my favorite things we did.



I love the look on Shayler's face...he looks so thrilled!
