A Windy City Wedding

I thought the USA portion of our trip would be all about vegging out, but it seems like our road trip ambitions have truly taken over. So, in the past month we've been in the US, we've gone from New York City to New Jersey, then borrowed my mom's car (thanks Mom!) to travel to Ohio to visit my childhood friend in Columbus, then went on to arrive in Chicago where we stayed for 10 days. We really enjoyed our time in the Windy City, especially seeing our niece and nephew play at Millenium Park's awesome fountains of water and visiting the Impressionist and Miniature rooms in the Art Institute of Chicago. Despite the 10 days, we still ran out of time. But if you do get to the Windy City don't miss the great lake and river architectural tours.

However, the main highlight of the trip was Kevin's brother Brian's wedding to Shannon Ames. It seems like we've come full circle by starting our journey with my brother's wedding in Shanghai and ending with Kevin's brother's. Is it just a great coincidence that both our brothers are named Brian? Here are some pics of the sunny day we had on July 14th. Brian and Shannon are now enjoying themselves on their honeymoon in Hawaii. And speaking of good news, Kevin and I are about to be Auntie and Uncle again when my brother and his wife Jackie have their little one in December!

Here is a picture of the happy couple.
