Chicago/Michigan - days 1-1/2

Brandon & I just returned home from a fun-filled trip to Chicago and then Michigan. Oscar stayed home, but as you can see he was sad to see us go . . .



First, we flew to Chicago for a little sight-seeing. My friend from high school lives there so we have a nice place to stay and a good tour guide. The first night we just had dinner and saw an old friend from medical school. Then, day 2 we spent the afternoon walking ALL OVER Chicago (and I mean all over). We walked so much that I had to buy new shoes before the day was over. (OK . . . it may have had something to do with my original choice of high heeled sandals)

These pictures are from us in Millenium Park . . . My favorite part about the park is the Cloud Gate Sculpture - a giant reflecting bean that you can see in the pictures below - very cool.

Keeping up with the Johnsons

Just a few more picture from my trip. While I was in the Bozeman area visiting Kelly and Liza, I got to stop in and see some friends of mine that lived in Belgrade. I coached with Corey in Belgrade and he and his wife, Angie, have been good friends of Karlee and mine since.They just had a second daughter, Payton, (whom I am taming in the last picture.) The last time I was in Belgrade, their other daughter Marin had just been born three weeks early, so you can see it has been way to long since I have been back. It was great to get to visit some and see the new addition to the family.

End of Trip

These are the last pictures from our trip home (sort of... I actually have some more). After I dropped Karlee off at the Billings Airport I drove to Pony to visit Kelly and Liza and their menagerie. It was good to spend some time with them and to finally see their house (which is beautiful by the way). Not much else to say. Thanks Kelly and Liza for entertaining me.
