We drove to Chicago to spend our Mothers Day in the city, which was perfect! I love big cities, the buildings are beautiful. We drove around a bit to show Linda Chicago.
The Chicago Water tower was one of the only buildings that survived the Great Chicago Fire in 1871. It remains today as an unofficial memorial to the fire's destructive power. It was one of just five public buildings and one ordinary bungalow spared by the flames within the disaster zone. The fire destroyed an area about four miles long and averaging 3/4 mile wide, encompassing more than 2,000 acres. I can say they don't make buildings like this anymore, it is really pretty in person.
We also went to the Shedd Aquarium for the day. It was fun to see something new that we hadn't seen since we moved here. There were tons of fish and exhibits to explore. The Jelly Fish exhibit was one of my favorites, they are just interesting to look at.
Planet Earth in 4D was fun to see as well. I've never seen a show in 4D, it was pretty cool how they had the air blowing as if you were their in person.
We also went to an Aquatic Show, where we saw dolphins and beluga whales...they are pretty cute to watch!
We stepped outside for a snack and the background of Lake Michigan is gorgeous!

After the Aquarium we ate at Giordano's for their Famous Chicago Stuffed Pizza, it was delicious! I thought it was better than Uno's Pizza, so I'm glad we tried it!
We were all stuffed after we ate it, we'll have to go their again!
It was a perfect Mother's Day and it was fitting to have Linda here to celebrate it with her! We love you very much, glad you were able to come visit us!

Happy first Mothers Day! You are such an amazing Mommy. Cambree is so lucky.
The ring Benton bought you is so pretty. He did a great job.
And my husband talks about Giordano's everytime we eat pizza. He says nothing compares. It's his favorite.
I so wish I could come and visit you in Chicago sometime. I would just love to see you.
Little Miss Cambree looks pretty happy up on her daddy's shoulders, cute picture. LOVE your ring, that is so gorgeous, what a sweet gift for your first Mother's Day.
That's so great Benton's mom was able to come visit, I am sure that made the day even sweeter.
What a gorgeous ring! You're so spoiled! ;) I'm glad you had a wonderful Mother's Day - you deserve it! :)
