Baltimore Aquarium August 2012

On the haul up to Maine we were sure to add some fun adventures to the trip (you know, because driving to Maine isn't long enough, let's extend the trip a few more hours!). I'm kidding, it was great to stop and stretch our legs, take some pictures, and have something to talk about with Harleigh afterwards. Below are some pictures from our excursion to the Baltimore aquarium which was a hit for both our 2 year old and 5 month old.

Rawr..it's a shark! "Rawr" sounds like the appropriate noise a shark would make, right?!

For realsie's, a shark!

I love Lawson trying to look around Zak in this one!

Can you find Nemo?

Waiting on the dolphin show to start (very entertaining)

Atlanta Trip June 2012

We recently took a trip to ATL to visit my extended family. We always have a great time catching up, playing games, and my dad's side are amazing cooks and hosts so we are really able to relax and enjoy ourselves.  Below are some pictures of the little guy meeting his Great Grandpa and Grandma Bradbury and his Great, Great (yes, 2) Grandma Saft (102).

Trip to Chicago

Zak and I were able to have a mini vacation to Chicago in October.  I was there for a company conference and Zak tagged along.  We had unbelieveable accomodations at the Ritz Carlton off of Michigan Ave. so we couldn't pass up the opportunity.  We were able to check out Second City (an improv group that started Sat night live), Gino's East Pizzeria (for authentic Chicago style pizza), Architecture boat tour, Navy Pier, The "Bean", Millenium park, and a few others.  Below are some pictures of the trip:

Zak enjoying a glass of wine in our suite at the Ritz! I'm 19 weeks pregnant so Zak had to enjoy the adult beverages for the two of us.  He didn't complain :)

View from our room on the 27th floor (across from the Hancock building and next to Michigan Ave "Miracle Mile")

Mmmm....breakfast at a Chicago favorite "Tempo" this omelette had potatos at the bottom- delicious!

We were there for the Chicago Marathon, which we checked out

My model/actor husband always camera ready!

On the architecture boat tour- I would highly recommend checking this out if you're in Chicago.

after the boat tour, we stopped by the Navy Pier to see what was going on there.  Next time I want to go to Harry Carey's bar for a drink and fries.  Looked like a fun sports bar.

This is the death trap Zak convinced me to go on.  It was the largest farris wheel I've been on (and probably the last).

As my eyes were closed for 99% of the trip Zak took all these pictures.  It looked really cool, I probably should have opened my eyes at this point.

Also at the Navy Pier was the botanical gardens that had some really neat fountains

Cathedral outside our hotel

We went to The Purple Pig for tapas- also delicious!

In front of lake Michigan, there was a really beautiful park there too.  Next time, I want to rent bikes and ride around to check out this area.  You can't tell with this picture, but there were quite a few boaters out there too.
