We went on a family vacation a couple of weeks ago. Jon wanted to go to a Radiohead concert near Chicago so we planned a trip around that. We took a few pictures while we were there.
In case you hadn't heard, we got rid of the Pacifica and bought a brand new swagger wagon AKA minivan. The girls enjoyed their first car movie experience on the way (Barbie Rapunzel - ACK!)
We went to the Children's Museum at Navy Pier on our first full day. Lots to see and do there!
Charlotte enjoyed the circus room.
Mina loved the pirate ship and rigging. Charlotte wanted to climb it, but she wasn't old enough.
We went on the ferris wheel. It was obviously hot outside.
We had a great view from our hotel room. Jon took this panorama with his cool phone (although his phone isn't as cool as mine, just to keep the facts straight).
We spent the next morning at Shedd's Aquarium where we apparently didn't take any pictures. Maybe that was for the best. Charlotte slapped me on the face hard enough for strangers to groan. She went into time out for that one! Don't ever let Charlotte get hungry because she gets mean. We did have a fun time there. Mina's favorite part was the dolphin show and Charlotte's favorite part was the yogurt parfait.
Charlotte is an awesome bus rider. How cute is she hanging on? Mina was an ambassador for Iowa State on the bus and sang a rousing rendition of the fight song along with "I am your robot friend. I'm here to help you..."
The kids slept so well during our vacation that we're feeling a little more confident about the switch to them sharing a room. I have a bunk bed picked out, but haven't pulled the trigger on that one quite yet. I'm not ready for my baby to be out of her crib.
We fully enjoyed our long weekend in Chicago with the girls. It turns out that they're incredibly good travelers. I wonder where we'll go for our next adventure? Mina wants to go on a cruise.
