My older sister, Tarin, and her husband, Marc, came to Chicago to visit us in Chicago.
Memories make the best gifts, don't they? My parents purchased plane tickets for Tarin and Marc for their birthdays to have a weekend sans kids (they have 4) and visit us! We had so much fun-- running all over the city and also having a relaxing Sunday.

| Marc watched Food Network and found out Pizzeria Uno is the original Deep Dish Pizza in Chicago. We enjoyed Pizza Al Fresco on a gorgeous August night. Sadly, this is the only photo of the 4 of us! |
