Chicago and Milwaukee

Mike has finished his accounting job with Active Power!! With some time off between the end of this job and the start of his internship at Point of Grace, we took the opportunity to head north and introduce Noah to some of Mike's family in Chicago. Noah got to meet his Great Grandparents, Great Aunt Donna and Great Uncle Frank and cousins Paul and Jennifer and their families. It was great to see everyone. While most of our time in Chicago was spent hanging out with family we also enjoyed a short afternoon trip downtown to Millenium Park and went out for some great Chicago style deep dish pizza...yum!


We also took a side trip for a couple days and drove over to Milwaukee. Mike's cousin Jennifer lives there so we visited her family and then spent the rest of our time with the Stephensons-good friends from college who moved up to Milwaukee for for the next several years for JB's residency. This was a real treat!


Noah did great with all the traveling. We weren't sure what to expect with the flight and drives back and forth from Chicago to Milwaukee. He slept most of the way for all of the major traveling and only had a few episodes of unhappiness on our flight back to Austin. While all the traveling was a bit exhausting, it was well worth it to get to spend this time with friends and family we don't get to see very often.
