CHICAGO

Chicago was such a fun place to be for the 4th of July weekend!  I visited my good childhood friend, Elaine, who has lived in the city for several years.  We cooked out, took a picnic down to watch fire works by lake Michigan, lastly drove up to Lake Geneva for the last day.

Elaine and Gregg, thanks so much for hosting, it was such a great time!!
