Chicago!

Dave and I headed to Chicago the first weekend of May. I was booked to shoot an engagement session there and we thought we'd mix a little pleasure with business. It was Dave's first trip to Chicago! We had some crazy times - the L was down for a lot of the trip and I almost got ran over by a car, and I lost my transit pass - but we also had a nice time together and plan on going back, maybe next spring. :)

We went to the aquarium - loved these tiny seahorses!


Dave's favorites were the sharks of course

we played putt-putt and Dave won by a stroke or 2. FUN!

Awesome pictures!

So glad you got to mix business with pleasure. Hopefully the fun outweighed the poopy times. :)
