Chicago

The last time we drove to Chicago was in 2013. We brought the kids with us and celebrated the Fourth of July.

I keep thinking about this trip and remembering how much we made them walk everywhere and do everything! I miss them.

Super excited to see Chicago though! Josh and I knew we only had a few hours in the city, because we needed to get to Grand Rapids by dinnertime. We stayed with a friend I’ve known since 2010 when I went on a teacher study tour to Germany! She even let us use her membership to the Art Institute if Chicago, so that was our first stop of the day. Monet, Manet, Van Gogh, O’Keefe, Seurat, just to name a few of the artists on exhibit there. We also found Andean textile exhibit which was really cool. We, of course had to check out Millenium Park and the bean before heading out of town again! Loved this day in the city.
