Visits from Family

My DH's cousins, AH and MH came and visited Chicago for a dental conference this past week. We were so excited that they were able to take time out to visit us. We went out to lunch at The Grand Lux Cafe and the went on an architectural boat tour. We have some seriously awesome architecture in this city, and what better way to experience it than with a snarky commentary from a local? (There is no better way, I'll just tell you) I've been on the tour before, but I am much older and much more mature now, so of course I found it considerably entertaining. All four of us also then went to Navy Pier and took a ride on our genuine imitation ferris wheel. It was loads of fun and we just love having family come visit the city. This picture of us is right before we got on the boat. Chicago is all about the photo 'opps' and making a buck here or there. Of course, we got them. because it's awesome. For those of you who don't know. Chicago is situated on a rather large lake, Lake Michigan. You may have heard of it as part of that whole "Great Lakes" concept back in grade school. We also have a river running through our beloved Second City which provides easy transit and shipping through to the Mississipi. This is where our boat tour takes place. All in all, it was a great afternoon and we are so glad that they could squeeze us in to their busy schedule of dental stuff and touristing!
