This was the perfect timing for Spring Break (for me): I don't know how I would've survived the week without him.
He also managed to get in some rest & relaxation for playing sports and watching movies.
Fortunately, we both got a weekend break from all forms of work & headed to Chicago for some family fun with the Woodworths!
Highlights from the trip included:
Chicago-style pizza,
driving through the beautiful city of Chicago with buildings towering overhead in every direction,
Navy Pier,
swimming,
& the Magnificent Mile for lots & lots of shopping!!
*Brooklyn was such a good sport the whole weekend even with skipping naps, going to bed late, & waking up early. The little bugger goes & goes & goes. She doesn't like to sit in one place too long, especially her stroller. She's provides a lot of entertainment & laughter. She's too much fun!*
We enjoyed our time together with the Woodworths & can't wait to go next month. If only, if only!
On the drive home, Brendon & I stopped by Carthage Jail. It's neat to be in a place where the prophet Joseph once stood. There is a wonderful spirit at that historic site.

So glad you got to get away for some fun and sight seeing. Chicago has alot to see for sure. I am glad you got to stop at Carthage. That would be a great experience. It was good talking to you!
Wow, my comment was about the pizza too. That's crazy. Isn't Carthage amazing? I enjoyed the spirit there too.
That pizza looks so good! That's great you two finally got a nice break from the routine.

No fair! Chicago is one of my favorite cities. You have to go again in the summer during the Taste of Chicago. Oh--so, so yummy! :)
Yes... so much fun! Hey, I'm all about going again next month! :0)
I'm glad you got to take a break together for a while. Looks like you packed a whole week's worth into a few days. Good job. And, I agree, the pizza looks amazing.
Isn't Chicago sooo fun!! I loved it when we went last year. Grant not so much, he is not a big fan of city life but I had a blast :). Katherine came with her girls and met us there and it was so fun. I want to go back. I miss that pizza too :). We went to Gioradanos 2 night is a row. Gotta love Chicago pizza!
Fun times!! We miss you!
