This past weekend we took off Friday and Monday to go on vacation. Naturally, our co-workers asked where we were going on vacation. We told them that we were going to Niagara Falls, NY and Chicago. They looked puzzled, trying to figure out how we were going to do this in a weekend. Our answer...day trips! On Friday, we got up at 3:30 in the morning and headed out of the house at 4 for Niagara Falls! We spent the day there and got home at 1:00 in the morning! Saturday was our day to rest, except that Josh helped a friend landscape all day, so he didn't get much rest... Then, Sunday morning, we left at 4:30 and headed to Chicago, only to return again at 1:00am. Our co-workers laughed and laughed when we told them we were trying to save money on a hotel and just come home instead. They thought that was the funniest thing! They joked about it all day and when we left work, they gave us a packed bag of leftover camp snacks to take with us (so we wouldn't have to buy food) hahahaha! They packed chips, frozen pizza, muffins, granola bars and anything else they could find in the kitchen. It was pretty funny! :) Everyone we tell about our mini-vacations laughs equally as hard, but hey, we had a great time!!
This is our bag of snacks!
Cave of the Winds Tour
Millennium Park
Kayaking on the Chicago River! This will right before the women in the kayak behind us almost ran into us and tipped us over. Close call!
Man, life has been pretty exciting in the last few weeks! Two weeks ago we did a high ropes course with my family in Frankenmuth! Balancing on wires 25 feet about ground doing really hard maneuvers! Freaky. Even my parent did the course. Very impressive! Life is good!
