Chicago get-a-way!

Chicago here we come!!!

Matt and I took a weekend and recharged --

YES, this meant NO CHILDREN!

We rarely do this -- but do feel it is important for us to spend time together -- just the 2 of us.

We do go on a date 1 to 2 times a month -- 

NOW -- they are not all fancy ;)  

YES, sometimes it is just a meal and the dreaded grocery shopping 

BUT 

we are together AND usually, talking/planning the week!

May and June are so busy for both of us --

We actually have a hard time getting much time together in those months 

SO -- this year we decided to fill-up on our time together and go away for the weekend.

We LOVE going to the city.

We stayed right downtown Chicago on the river.  It was a beautiful room located near everything we needed.

We enjoyed our favorite Chicago foods --

Portillo's

Geno's

Argo tea

My new favorite --- Strawberry Creme green tea!!! YUMMY!

Garrett's Popcorn

We did LOTS of walking

which you notice after all we ate -- WE NEEDED TO!!!

SOME shopping, really window shopping

BUT the best thing was -- we were just together!

I am so thankful for this man God gave me to marry!

We are filled and ready to tackle the end of the school year, asparagus and planting season!
