Our time in Chicago was fleeting (less than 48 hours) but was filled with so much fun and so many visits that not a single moment was wasted. This post is gonna be mostly a bunch of pictures to give you a bit of a feel for how much we crammed into 2 days.

First: we headed into downtown (sans Mack) to rendezvous with Ben’s cousins Kristen and Britt-Marie at the Nutella Cafe

Then Chicago sightseeing

It’s cliche but seriously, that bean is so cool.

Then we had classic Pizzeria Uno for dinner and retired to Brian and Meghan’s and stocked up on Sonoma snuggles.

AND THAT WAS JUST DAY 1.

Day 2: Back into the city (Mack in tow this time) to Lake Michigan for a cruise around with some of our Montessori of Maui crew

And then dinner out again (in Chicago it seems compulsory to eat pizza for every meal) with the Emory Crew which continues to grow with new adorable members ❤️

Seriously you guys. 2 days of non stop fun and non stop smiles. CHICAGO. CHECK.
