Chicago

Last weekend, Craig and I drove to Chicago to see Julia. She had driven herself to school the week before (because Craig and I were both in class teaching) - her car packed to the top with everything she thought she'd need for her last semester on campus. We wanted to see where she was living, check out her apartment, her roommates, and just hang out with her. Saturday morning, we woke up and decided to take the commuter train into Chicago and do some site seeing. Craig had never ridden the train - it was a perfect day - so off we went! We shopped the Magnificent Mile, we went to the park and watched the crazy people, and we enjoyed a yummy meal together. At 9:30pm, we boarded the train to head back to Kankakee. It was a fun, unexpected day! Sunday, Julia and I shopped for apartment essentials, and Craig went to a National Boat Race. It was a perfect weekend ~ we are so blessed Julia is at ONU! It's always hard to say good-by, but we know she is in the perfect place!
