A few weeks ago, my sister, brother-in-law, niece, and nephew were able to come up to Chicago for a business/personal vacation (two weeks before moving back to Memphis from St. Louis). My brother-in-law, Chris, was speaking at a conference and was being put up at Hyatt Regency downtown, a few blocks from Michigan Ave. While I had to work earlier in the week, we did get a chance to spend some time with everyone. Check out some of the photos below:

Apryl and I entertained the kids at our neighborhood playground while Ash and Chris had a quiet dinner.
Did you really think I wouldn’t steer them towards the Gioradano’s experience?
Yep, they loved it!

I realized that it was a rare opportunity to have the entire group there at once. I’m glad we were able to hang out and that everyone seemed to have a good time.
