Well, well. I went over the basics over our trip to Chicago here. And another trip bites the dust! It was brief, it was fun. We ate some of the most delicious foods. We saw some spectacular sites. We made some great memories.
    I never can get enough of our families, they're some kinda special to me. Until next time!





          

Chicago, Pt I

We just came back from a 4 day trip in Chicago, Illinois.

    It was a whirlwind of a trip, perfect for a trek to the Windy City. The talk of going on an Alexander family vacation had been mentioned back and forth until finally everyone threw 3 sheets to the wind and bought tickets less than 2 weeks from departure. Immediately we worked together to form one superb schedule that we would adhere to. Then our next task was to find an acceptable place to stay to fit all of us. And of course we needed ideas of where to eat at once we got there! One by one, we checked off all of the to-do's. Then last weekend we left on 2 different planes- lest one crashed and blotted out the family line (just kidding, though we did take 2) 7 Alexanders left on an adventure together. We ate all the best local foods, visited the most famed spots and managed to be in town for 2 flash floods. It was a very nice, even relaxing (at times), trip. I've just decided to leave a list of the things we did and let the photos speak for themselves. :)
