Visit to Chicago

Today was my birthday and Karen's and my anniversary, and we celebrated by traveling to Chicago to visit my sister, her husband, my cute little niece, my parents, and their dog. Kris was not with us because on Friday she left for her senior class trip.  On scattered-rain Saturday we watched the Thunderbirds  as part of the Chicago air show.  That night, we could hear a Pearl Jam concert at Wrigley Field about 5 blocks from my sister's family's house.  We returned home today.  Katie starts middle school (5th grade) tomorrow.
