Visit to the Land of Lincoln

Sorry I haven't been blogging, but I've been a bit lazy about getting on the computer after spending all day at work on the computer.

At the end of April, Bob & I made a quick trip back to Illinois to visit his family. On our first day, we drove down to Mahomet to visit with his sister, Lisa, and meet the new niece, Sophie. See how cute she is!

The second day we were there, we went to visit Bob's grandpa, who has cancer. This was the primary purpose of our visit. It was good to see Grandpa and Bob's aunt and uncle, though it was a bit sad as well.

We checked out some of the parks while we were there, to experience the green-ness of the Midwest...something that's rare in Phoenix. :D Here's a picture at the Lake of the Woods.

On Saturday, we took the train into Chicago. Ang shopped while Bob took his parents to the famous Billy Goat Tavern from the Saturday Night Live skit, "Cheezburga, cheezburga, cheezburga". We then watched the Cubs get brutalized by the Brewers at Wrigley Field. You can see the birds even knew it was over, when they alighted on the field in the middle of the 9th inning.

At the airport on Sunday, we saw Bono randomly. He was signing autographs and taking pictures at the gate across from ours, so Ang hopped over to take a picture with him.
