Awesome Chicago Adventure!

Grammie and Auntie Kimmy informed us that it's been two years since we've been to Chicago. I can't believe it. This year we came on our annual Haddon/Rizzo/Pergande get together weekend. To kick off the week, Trisha and the kids headed to the Sears Tower (oops I mean the new Willis Tower) where they recently installed these 360 glass rooms on the top floor that extend outside the building. Wow! What a trip. I literally screamed as I creeped my way out. Presley crawled out. And fearless Canyon walked out without hesitation. It was a long wait but well worth it (and a good Chicago thing to do, which I never did growing up).



Much of the remainder of the weekend was dedicated to our good friends the Haddons and the Rizzos. The Rizzos just bought this amazing new boat, The Legocy, that they dock on Lake Michigan. We spent time on the boat tubing with an amazing skyline behind us. We watched the Wednesday Night Fireworks. We ventured down to the Indiana Dunes for more tubing, sand castle building, and "camping" on the boat at a local marina. One of our highlights was climbing Mt. Baldy, the largest dune. May not look that tough but it's really hard to climb when you keep sinking in the sand on your way up. Good workout but an even more fun descent. The kids got to spend the night with Grammie on Saturday. And we also caught quick glimpses of Aunt Kimmy and Grandma Harriet. A really fun adventure. Looking forward to our next trip and my tennis match (that never happened) with Kim Rizzo!
