The Taiclets Vist Chicago!

Last weekend, Rich, Mindy, Isaak, and Natalie trekked out to Chicago to visit Trent and Jeanne! It was sooooooooo fun! I don't have a ton of pictures from the weekend, but here are some from my phone:

weekend starts with some Fritz Pastry!

Then a little golf:

Mindy, Natalie, and I went to a super cool craft show where Mindy got to meet some celebrity stampers and Natalie got a tattoo! And she got to jump in a bounce house! Rich, Isaak, and Trent golfed the day away...

Then some fun at Navy Pier on Saturday! Natalie and Isaak got to play in the fountain!

Then I ran a half marthon on Sunday!

Followed by the beach! So fun! We also got to have pizza movie nights! And we laughed a lot. Drank beer. Colored. Had Charbucks coffee... so much fun.

Race to the Taste

Mike and Erin were in Chicago this weekend!

We tried Cemitas Puebla (as seen on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives), went to the Frank Lloyd Wright Museum, went to the Lincoln Park Zoo, ate at Hackney's (also on DD&D and one of Trent and Jeanne's favorites...), and had tart yogurt from Berry Chill!

Also! Mike, Erin, and Jeanne ran a 5k Sunday morning!! So fun! It was HOT and HUMID. After we showered, we took a lap around the Taste of Chicago and tried a Chicago favorite or two.
