Chicago: Vacation Part 4!

So on Wednesday of our first week in Pella, Matthew and I left our sweet Cayden with Grandpa and Grandma and headed out to Chicago to visit our great friends Janna and Troy.  They recently moved from Azusa, where we were blessed to have them close to us for the past 4 years, to Chicago where Troy is taking a job at Trinity Christian College. We miss living by them already!!  So anyways, my good friend from college, Kristi, also drove down from Michigan to visit as well! It was so much fun to see Janna and Troy's place and catch up visit with such good friends!!!

Here is how Chicago started . . . it was raining outside and a nap was just calling there name!  This gave the girls a chance to talk anyways :)!
So Matthew's dream came true and we went to Giordano's to get deep dish pizza.
Just look at the look on Matthew's face as they are serving him the first slice :)!
Pizza in all its glory . . . according to Matthew!

Unfortunately this was the only picture I got of all three of us all day . . . and we are eating pizza, wished we would have had another one as well :)!
After we dropped Kristi off at the train station (she took the train part way and drove the rest of the way, thanks for driving down Krisit!!  I loved seeing you again and catching up!!!!) we drove downtown for awhile!

Here is the apartment building that Matthew, Troy, and I lived in our senior year for one semester when we all did our internships in Chicago.  We had to at least drive by it, looks the exact same!
We went and saw the Millennium Bean at Millennium Park, that was pretty cool, the picture doesn't do it justice!  The second picture is a little bit better!

Troy and Janna with the skyline!

Watch out they spit!

We went back to their house and spent the night!  It was so great seeing them again, even if had only been a few weeks . . . we will definitely miss them here in Azusa . . . things just don't seem quite right without them here :(!  

Thanks for sticking with me, I think there are only two more parts of our vacation left!!  To see all pictures of our trip, take a look at our Smugmug pictures!!
