John's Visit

Last weekend we drove down to NC to see our friends and family for a few days because our friend John was on leave from Iraq, so we visited and had a little party(-;
Mae took this picture herself and couldn't stop laughing!
Josh on the Harley
Party time!!!
We got a little tactical training in rear naked choke techniques. You gotta squeeze!




The party was awesome! It was so good to see everyone, we miss and love you all so much! John we love you and can't wait for you to come home again!

My favorite building in Chicago! It's the Carbon and Carbide Building now occupied by the Hard Rock Hotel. It was designed during the prohibition to look like a champagne bottle (the building is covered in green granite and topped with 24 carat gold leaf).
The new glass platforms at the Sears Tower...scary pics from inside below(-:
These pictures were taking during our river architectural tour.
This is the Chicago Merchandise Mart. It's so big it has its own zipcode, kinda like yo' mama!!! Oh snap!



Believe your eyes, that is the Travelocity Gnome on our boat tour.
