The Big Trip, Part 1: Chicago

The first leg of our big summer trip started with visiting L's sister and her hubby in their new hometown of Wheaton, Illinois (just outside of Chicago). Here's a family game of Life going on in their lovely and cozy basement apartment.

While in Illinois, we attended the lovely wedding of our Marine friends, Austin and Maureen, who are both stationed with A in San Diego. A is the Marine on the left in the Sword Detail as the newlyweds walk through the bridge.








The following day, we walked all over downtown Chicago with B and M as our knowledgeable tour guides. Although the day started out rainy, we had a blast checking out the enormous city. Here are some cute pictures from the day:

Finally, here's B in front of the Billy Graham building on the Wheaton College campus where he has most of his classes, and L by C.S. Lewis' actual wardrobe, hence the inspiration for his Chronicles of Narina (also on the campus).











Thanks B and M for making the first half of our summer trip very fun and memorable! Next stop...London!
