Chicago

Chicago!  Franz had never been, so we tagged along with the Chicago experts Tim and Angela (they were going for a wedding) and made it a pseudo-anniversary trip.  Isabel stayed home with Grandma and Grandpa, so you may want to stop now if you were hoping for a picture of her.  :)

Portillo's  for some Chicago hot dogs

Tim and Angela enjoying the street food as well.

After we discovered that the Shedd Aquarium was having a free day for all the locals (and the line was excessively long), we took a snapshot and headed over to the Art Institute.
