Last Tuesday we headed north for our first family vacation! We decided to go to Chicago and see the big city and visit with my Uncle who lives in Aurora about an hour train ride away. Jaxxi did so good on the 15 hour trip there and the 15 hour trip back! I would have to say she did better than her daddy that's for sure! :)

| We stopped at bass pro on the way there, She loved looking at the fish! |
 |
| This is the sky deck at the Willis tower the tallest building in the western hemisphere! this is 103 stories high! |

| Jaxxi loved the tall buildings! She didn't seemed scared at all about this. It's a mind trick! |

| the last day we spent our time on the navy pier. It was a lot of fun and we got to see the boat and air show! It's pretty awesome to see the blue angels fly so close! We had a great time and are so thankful for Curtis and David to show us around and let us have a free place to stay! I think we are vacationed out until next year! :) |
