Weekend Wedding

Recently we had the opportunity to make a quick trip to Chicago for a wedding celebration of a dear friend of ours.  The Music Man and I also treated it as our 15 year anniversary getaway, which just means that we went out to eat once or twice instead of packing our meals.  Romantic, I know.

We zoomed on into town just in time for the potluck, musical, gardenish ceremony in an old converted fire house.

Can you see how eager we are to dig into the potluck?

After that, we dined and reconnected with friends, then retired to our lodging (airbnb, anyone?).

What's one of the best things about Chicago?  Both the locals and visitors agree: the lakefront, of course!  So I rented a Divvy bike and tagged along Music Man's morning lakeside jog.

I admit I underestimated the difficulty of using a camera while riding a bike.

We even joined the tourists for the Architectrual Boat tour and grabbed some Garrett's popcorn before heading back to Michigan, to our kids, to our animals, to our back-to-school reality.

But what a sweet wedding weekend it was.
