Blog a la Cart

James and I spent a rare five days sans children this past week. We journeyed to Chicago, James’ inaugural trip, for a friends’ wedding at the Field Museum (think: partying with a T Rex named Sue). Lots of exploring and walking and lounging and going and doing whatever we pleased, whenever we pleased. A rare occurrence in our daily lives as parents. And man, Chicago sure is a great city. It was a lovely trip indeed.

Then we ventured a little further east to Ann Arbor, Michigan where we spent our days snuggling a newborn and spending time with friends during that special and unique period of life when one’s family is in transition and life is so demanding and in upheaval and yet so blissfully simple and precious. More photos from that experience soon.
