The great chicago escape

Melissa and I went to Chicago for five wonderful nights

We loved spending time with Parker, Suzy and Henry. The restraunts were great and the city was so fun to explore.

My favorite part was the architectural boat tour of downtown chicago.

other highlights:
the field museum
adobo grill
eating dessert first at Lou Malnoti's pizza place
lake michigan dinner cruise
the international museum of surgery (and finding parking)
Harry Carrey's Steak House
Walking down the miracle mile
The BONGO room and OREO raspberry pancakes/ that's a great way to start the day!!

Bryce Canyon Trip

We had a wonderful trip to Bryce Canyon.

We camped inside the park with two neighbor families from our street.

There were 15 of us all together including 4 girls around Sarah's age.

We cooked all our meals on the camp stoves and dutch ovens.

So much for my diet. (Our breakfeast yesterday was around 100 weight watcher's points..... I get 35 per day)

Melissa did great!
