Celebrating 10 Years!!!

On August 15th, Ryan and I will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. But, since that month will be booked with football practice, Kid's Camp, and 'Back-to-School' madness, we decided to celebrate it this month. So, this past weekend we spent a couple days in downtown Chicago. Our close friends, Michael and Kristi, joined us, making our weekend that much more special!



We found lots of creative places to take photos. I guess that's bound to happen when you're spending the weekend with an artist...
We had dinner Friday night @ the Grand Luxe Cafe. Yummay! And then we had lunch reservations Saturday @ the Signature Room up in the Hancock building. We were lucky enough to get a window seat. Perfect!

We had some fun taking pics @ the 'bean' in Millenium Park.



Here are some more creative shots. On our way to Navy Pier, we just happened to pass a building with strangely lit windows. We thought it would be a great spot to take pics. And here is what resulted! Who knew we could laugh so hard and have so much fun in front of a bright, white window??

Add to the mix a couple theatrical performances, shopping on Michigan Ave, some crazy dancing on the stage of a hillbilly country singer (don't ask!), a very competitive game of mini golf, and a couple late night movies, and we had a very memorable weekend in the city. A perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. Thanks Michael & Kristi for celebrating with us! Let's do it again next year! xoxo
