Dubuque : Chicago

Adventures to see friends get married on back to back weekends us on a ten day whirlwind trip around half of the US a couple weeks ago. Trip number was to the far off land of Dubuque, Iowa to be a part of our friends Paul and Jenna Mountain's wedding.  We flew into Chicago and made the three hour drive west for an excellent weekend getting to catch up with friends and celebrating Paul and Jenna's marriage along the banks of the Mississippi River.

After a great weekend with friends in Dubuque, we drove back to Chicago to spend some time in the city.  Sara has never been in Chicago while the temperature is above freezing so this was a perfect time to enjoy spring weather in one of the greatest cities in the world.

We spent all of Monday and Tuesday (May 19 and 20) cruising around the city on Divvy Bikes taking in as much as we could.  Chicago is an incredible city with countless places, neighborhoods, and attractions to explore.

Roscoe Village, Lake Michigan, the Lakefront Trail, Michigan Ave, Millennium Park, Lurie Garden, Navy Pier, John Hancock Tower, deep dish pizza, Lincoln Ave, italian beef, Lincoln Park, Lincoln Park Zoo, world famous Wrigley Field (for a rare Cubs win!)....we covered a lot of ground in two days.  Excellent experience. Great to be able to share it with Paul and Chloe.

Thank you to cousin Jordan for the gracious hospitality.
