Chicago!

First of all, let me brag on my hubby :)  Allen finished the Chicago Marathon with a time of 3:10 and QUALIFIED for the Boston Marathon!  I could not be more proud of him and his little boy is mighty impressed with his daddy!

We left Oxford at 3:30 AM Friday morning and landed in Chicago a little after 8:00 AM.  Jack was such a trooper!  Getting through the airport and flying with a baby was easier than I had ever dreamed!  Jack did great on the plane, train, and bus.  He was happy the entire trip...even without his naps! 

We did a lot of sightseeing.... The Sears Tower, Lake Michigan, The American Girl Store, Magnificent Mile, Navy Pier, Wrigley Field, and LOTS of good eating (my favorite being Gino's East). 

 Jack LOVED the sand!

The Cravens 3 on the top floor of the Sears (now known as Willis) Tower

Allen was a little nervous about standing on the glass ledge :)

Aunt Mea Mea obviously didn't have a problem with it!

Happy Jack just liked to look and smile at all the people around!

Our hotel was a block from the Chicago River....absolutely beautiful!

 SISTERS!

A HUGE thanks to Jack's Aunt MeaMea for tagging along with us...She was a HUGE help and Jack is quite smitten with his Auntie :)

I will post pictures of Jack cheering for his daddy during the race later tonight....hated to have 20 pics on 1 post :)  Chicago was a blast and was beautiful this time of year!
