Father's Day Weekend!

We couldn't wait to update the blog! We had the best time this weekend! Saturday we went up to the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry. There we all participated in the C.S.I. Experience exhibit. We solved the crime without a hitch. Blood splatters, fingerprints, scene evidence, the autopsy and DNA matching were just some of the items we had to put together to solve the crime. Then we walked around the museum to other exhibits and then lastly did the Coal Mine Tour. We are just glad that we are not coal miners! Way too dark and too shallow of a work environment. That evening we walked to Giordano's Pizzeria and had the famous stuff crust!
I think K liked it just was much as we did!


Saturday night we watched the Navy Pier fireworks from our hotel room window. Beautiful! K slept through the whole thing- maybe next time. We found that K loved to look out the hotel window (on the 32nd floor!) and just stare out at all the fascinating things around us! Sunday morning we walked around the city a bit and took in all the scenery. It's such a magnificent city! We then headed to Millennium Park. It finished construction in 2005 and cost an estimated 500,000,000 buckaroos!
We took lots of pictures by the "bean" and at the water walls. K enjoyed stomping through the water between the water walls and watching her reflection.

After a brief morning nap, K treated Daddy to a Father's Day Brunch Cruise on Lake Michigan. We were lucky enough to get a window seat and take in all the Chicago views from the lake. K loved oohing and ahhing at the sail boats and watching the waves out the window.
The brunch and entertainment was outstanding!
Definitely would do it again for a special occasion.
After the cruise and brief spin on Navy Pier we headed home. We had Father's Day dinner with M's mom and dad and brother and sister-in-law. It was a nice dinner and good company! K was quite the lover with grandma and grandpa as well as Aunt C and Uncle P! Once Aunt C gave her some lovin's and a good piece of bread it was all over! :)
Now G has to go back to work and M and K are going to pick up Molly (our golden retriever) tomorrow. Molly was on vacation too at the farm (M's parent's house) for the past week and a half. They were nice enough to watch her last weekend while we were in WI and this weekend while we were livin' up Chicago! K sure does miss her buddy and will be happy to see her again!
