Chicago / Milwaukee

Lisa just entered her 16th week. Our next appointment is August 4th. Aside from Lisa still feeling some effects of Morning Sickness, there is nothing really to report on the baby. The "baby bump" is starting to get bigger. Lisa has also felt a few small movements from the baby. So since there isn't much else to report, I'll share our trip from this past week. We went to Chicago and Milwaukee to see my cousin Lyndsay & Mike get married.

We started our trip off Thursday morning with a flight to Chicago.

We checked into our hotel room and then met up with Eric, a vendor I work with and had lunch at Pizzaria Due. A popular Deep Dish Pizza place.

Yummy..

Lisa and baby thought so too.. :)

After pizza, we walked down Michigan Ave and was thinking about going up the John Hancock building, but Lisa wasn't feeling so good, so instead we went to the Ghirradelli Chocolate shop and got a Chocolate shake for Lisa. :)

After a short rest at the hotel, we headed out to Wrigley Field to see the Cubs and Phillies play.

It was a great night. Seeing a game at Wrigley was one of the things I've always wanted to do, and it exceeded my expectations. Even Lisa had a great time and best of all, Cubs won 12-6 (yes we left early, we didn't want to have to wait for a long time for the train back to the city.

The next morning we woke up and took a Amtrak train to Milwaukee. It was Lisa's first time on a train. It was a very nice trip. There was hardly anybody on the train, it was comfortable and quiet. That night, we had the rehearsal dinner. Here we got to see the rest of the family and got to experience a Milwaukee "Fish Fry". It was a lot of fun seeing everybody and catching up on old times, though we were stalked by a couple of spiders that liked to drop down right in front of us. Lisa didn't enjoy that. :)

Saturday, I met up with Dad, Lynn, Pete and Dan & Reshma. Lisa wasn't feeling that good, so she stayed in the hotel room and relaxed. It was a good thing she did, Milwaukee had it's 4th day over 90 degrees and there was heat advisories for the area (a big deal in Milwaukee, felt like a normal day for me, with less humidity) We went to a antique place with no air conditioning, a little warm since there was no air movement. After that, we went to the Milwaukee Public Market, which was pretty neat. Downtown Milwaukee is a neat city. Lots of old old buildings.

The wedding was at the Milwaukee Museum of Art. A very neat Futuristic building. The wedding was a lot of fun and very nice. Wayne stressed over his speech but it went off without a hitch. Lyndsay and Mike were married in a nice ceremony and then the party was on. Lisa, Reshma, Dan and I hung out the whole night. It was a great time, but as usual whenever I hang out with my cousins, time just flew by. After fireworks over Lake Michigan, it was time to head back to the hotel. We had a early flight the next morning. Here's a few pictures from the wedding:

We were up really early Sunday for a 7:30am flight. Aside from 2 large annoying women sitting behind us, our flight home was good. Got home and slept the rest of the day. That was our trip to Chicago and Milwaukee. It was a fun time. This is probably Lisa's last trip till after the baby is born. We're looking forward to the next Dr's appt. I think we might find out if it's a boy or girl. Then the great name debate begins. :) till next time..
