On top of the world...or at least Chicago...

We have had no rest for the weary, the week after all the wedding and birthday excitement we went to Chicago with my parents for the National Vending convention. It was alot of fun but it was a quick trip with alot of time in the car. We left Thursday and drove the whole way, Caleb did good so that was a huge blessing. Friday morning we went to the convention it was at the Navy Pier. It was alot of fun, with lots of information and free vending goodies. Caleb was the hit of all the exhibitors. After our walk through the convention center we walked along the navy Pier and then took a bus tour of Chicago. It was fun, the first picture is taken from the top of the Sears Tower (the tallest bldg in the US, and tallest 'structure' in the world) We are standing in a glass box outside the bldg looking down...it was 'interesting' being 110 floors up and stepping out on to GLASS!

These pictures are out of order but for some reason I cant get them to move, oh well...After the bus tour we went back to the hotel and got up Sat morning and drove to the St Louis arch. Brandon had never been there so we were excited to get to look around there and go to the top. Caleb had his first taste of Rock Candy courtesy of Gran, he loved it. We spent the night then got up and headed the rest of the way home on Sunday. All in all its been a busy few weeks but lots of memories made and fun had!
