G-Ma Dime Visits Chicago









My mom went back to Seattle on Tuesday, after a wonderful two week visit here in Chicago. I had spent the previous two weeks with her in Seattle, so it had been a month together by the time we said goodbye. The whole time she kept saying how I'd be ready to say goodbye by the end because we'd be sick of one another, but that wasn't the case. We are both still a little teary as we think about how much blessed we were in July. Matt was working during most of her trip out, and so mom and I took Jackson around Chicago on our many errands and also some fun days. We went down to Navy Pier one day, and enjoyed the sun, a cheezeborger, a glass of wine and cinnamon roasted nuts- yummm. We then walked across to the Chicago River and sat to watch the sunset.










Later in the week, Matt took Jackson for the day and Mom and I had a girls day out for the Chicago River Architectural tour. It was incredible weather and we really had a great time.









Then we finished up the visit with an evening out. We went to one of our favorite restaurants, the Broadway Cellar, with Dave and Lauren. The food and company was off the charts!
