Our 10th wedding anniversary!

For our 10th anniversary, my sister Michelle stayed with the kids and Jared and I got to go to Chicago for the weekend. We had a wonderful time and are so grateful for the chance to get away. We left Thursday night and drove to the city. We stayed at Michelle's apartment that night and ate out at one of our favorite mexican restaurants LaLos. Then Friday morning we got up and drove to the temple and had a marvelous time.

From the temple we drove back downtown and checked into the Renaissance hotel which was beautiful! We spent the rest of our time eating delicious food and walking around the city.

Jared was thrilled to see things from an architectural standpoint.
We went to Millennium park, which was on his list and that was fun.

We saw the "bean" as they call it!

Here's our reflection in the bean...

Down at the Lake, behind me is Navy Pier

Buckingham fountain...we could hear the symphony
playing because they pipe it over through speakers.

Here we are on the boat that we took down the river for the architectural tour.

Jared took this picture of the new sky decks at the Willis tower. We ended up not being able to go because by the time we got there there was a 2 hour wait, and we needed to get home.

All in all, we had a great time and really enjoyed just being together!
I told Jared - for our twentieth I want to go to Paris...we'll see!
