As you can imagine, this city has been wild with the recent election...and yes, we did have to take a little trip down to Grant Park for the rally...just to say we were there. Trust me, it was not my idea!! I had enough of crowds after the 4th of July and was a little scared to go, but how else are we going to have cool stories to tell our children? We ended up staying until they announced the president elect and then headed home before things go too out of hand.
This past weekend Brian and Gail came to visit us! Jason had the week off before he started his next quarter of school so we had plenty of time to relax. The weather took a dive for the 30s right before they arrived. In fact, they brought some lovely snow flakes from Oregon. But, like the tough city kids we have become, we donned wool coats, scarves, hats and mittens and fought the Lake winds head on! We found a fun little Thai restaurant, took a quick trip to Devon avenue for some authentic Indian food and hit up a few farmers markets...amazing the places you can go in a city! We also headed out to Medieval Times for a show! We were sad to see them go on Monday, but so happy they came!
Wandering the streets of Chicago..

This is it for now, as I desperately need to get to bed. I'm heading to the airport at 4am to go meet Jason in Florida!! We are excuted to stop and see Devon, Kim and Alanah while we are there!
