Travel to Chicago

Here are the shots from our Chicago trip!

We went to celebrate my parent’s 10 year anniversary and vow renewal. I got to spend a full 6 days with my family, my brothers, my sister-in-law and many dear friends. It was great and led to a very emotional out pouring of sappy love for life, so I guess it was worth the flight.

Taking Chloe to the Art Institute and watching her look at every painting in awe is something I hope to remember for a long time.
