Chicago Treat

The Canerdays treated us to a fabulous weekend in Chicago at the end of August. 
Beautiful art, delicious eats, a classic ball park visit, and excellent company made it a memorable Labor Day weekend. 

Chagall's Four Seasons is a vibrant mosaic outside the Chase Tower



Many sites were seen as calories were burned (later consumed via deep dish pizza) and we ended our filled days on the couch in the hotel. Leaving work stress behind was effortless.

Game day



Even though Buck and I were made aware of what poor shape we are in after walking all day,
 we enjoyed all of the sites and especially being with our family. 
Thank you Bec and Vic for hosting the perfect trip to Chicago; 
it was a pleasant change of pace from the pokey life.
