August Trip to Illionis

This month we were able to travel back to Illinois for a wonderful celebration, the marriage of our nephew Mike Klemm and his new wife, Monica.

We flew into Chicago on Wednesday, August 7, and on Thursday afternoon we were treated to the Architectural Boat Tour of Chicago by Michael's sister and brother-in-law.

After the tour we met up with more family for dinner at The Purple Pig on Michigan Avenue.  The food was fabulous and the company even better!

I gave the bride and groom their wedding gift the night before the wedding.  Here is a photo of them with the quilt and pillow shams.

The Wedding was on Saturday, August 10, and it was a beautiful ceremony.

And the reception was a blast!

We were able to stay in town to visit family through Tuesday, August 13.  We ate way TOO MUCH food, but enjoyed our visit.  We hope to be able to visit family again soon!
