So as we made our way to their house, and only minutes after getting in the car, the kids fell fast asleep. We then opted to take the long way, reminiscing and even driving by our old townhome. Finally we arrived and had a wonderful afternoon and evening together, complete with delicious Chicago deep dish pizza. YUM! Since the last time we were at their house, they had put up this really fun tire swing. It was a huge hit with both Brianna and Carl!
Saturday we made our trip down into the Chicago! Always a must! We first stopped to check out LitFest, grabbed some lunch, then took a walk north on State Street. Our final destination was our favorite tea place the TeaGschwendner! So many memories of taking the L into the city, getting a freshly brewed cup of tea, and just walking around. Ahh, love it!

After a cup of tea, we boarded the L for a faster trip back to our car. We had plans that evening to hang out with friends, so we didn't want to be late. Before leaving downtown though, we quickly stopped for a sweet snack of yummy Garrett's popcorn. We couldn't resist!
And in an effort to save on gas and all ride together, we pilled in our tahoe for the trip. I think we were all glad to be back in the car and headed home (and sitting in some traffic!). Can you tell Brianna and Carl were worn out from the morning's adventure!?
We had an absolutely gorgeous evening visiting with friends. The weather was perfect, the conversation was uplifting, and the gaggle of kids were all having fun together. We are so grateful for our Chicago family. Feeling so blessed that we got to see everyone and share that time together. Looking forward to our next trip, hopefully sooner rather than later!
