While in Chicago, we connected with old friends, toured the Museum of Science and Industry, spent an evening at Ravinia, and visited the Lincoln Park Zoo.
We also enjoyed lunch with my dad's cousins (they cleverly timed one of their bimonthly visits to correspond with our trip) and had the chance to reunite with Dr. Kyle Nash, the officiant at our wedding almost nine years ago. Time sure flies.
During our two weeks away, we took short road trip to Door County, WI. We stayed in a condo graciously loaned to us by one of my dad's cousin's for two nights, and really enjoyed some pool time and beach time swimming in Lake Michigan--it was hot! We also took a beautiful bike ride through Peninsula State Park.
Of course we also partook a fair amount of ice cream and custard, yum yum! (Ice cream stops during our two week trip included: Dairy Queen, Culver's, Wilson's, Kopp's, and Margie's...the favorite--a tie between Kopp's Salted Caramel Custard and Wilson's Jumbo sundae!).
On the way back to Chicago we spent the afternoon with my Grandma--she is looking great for 93--and had a dinner with her and my Aunt Judith, and cousin Tonia and her family

So, we were busy! And lucky that we had two weeks off to travel.
