Our First Vacation!!!

 Joe and I went on our first vacation as husband and wife, and it only took us 4 years after we've been married to do it!  We tagged along with my dad and his wife( my mom passed away 6 years ago) to Michigan and Chicago. We spent a busy 5 days in South Haven, MI and the remaining 2 in Oak Park, IL. We really loved Michigan, and this trip had two firsts for Joe! Joe had never been on an airplane "check" and he had never been in the water "check"! I'm so glad I was able to experience two firsts with my hubs. I guess I had a first too, but I don't really think going in the Lake would be a first since I've been in the ocean before, but I can play along! Here's a collection of our photos mainly taken on Joe's cell phone ( at least they're good for something).

Joe's first plane ride. Thanks for the traveling prayers!

 

This was our view from the observation deck at our hotel!!!
The breeze from Lake Michigan's water crashing against the rocks was beyond relaxing

Joe's first "beach" experience!

The sunset view from our patio table after our yummy BBQ!
 This is the view every night in Michigan, not fair! 

Watching the sunset off the Lighthouse pier! Beautiful!

Massive amphitheater.

We are now in CHI-CA-GO! Such a crazy fast paced, middle fingers (not ours) flying up in traffic and horns honking. Needless to say, I'm rethinking wanting to go to New York. HAHA

It's da Bean.
I would have to say it's kind of overrated, but you got to go see it!
Joe wore his Broncos shirt the day after we stomped DA Bears!
