Dave invited me to go with him to a conference in Chicago last weekend. I was so excited, it has been a long time since we have been on a trip so we packed our things, and the baby and headed off to the windy city for a relaxing weekend. We stayed in a beautiful hotel right downtown and while he was busy teaching classes Benjers and I walked around and enjoyed the Christmas spirit, the freezing temperatures and the beautiful architecture. So fun!!
Ben after his first airplane ride, he did so good!!

Right around the corner from our hotel was this famous landmark...
Benjers is all bundled up for the cold, the temps were between 7 & 35 degrees depending on the time of day or night....so much colder than the mild Northwest! 
So beautiful!

So beautiful!After the conference we went to the Sears Tower to see the view. It is the 3rd tallest building in the world, and it swayed at the top because of the wind!!
Enjoying the city lights
The below building, the old water tower, was the only one left standing when Mrs. O'Leary's cow kicked it over and started the great Chicago fire!!
