Midwestern Swing

A month ago (yeah, lots of call and not much blogging recently...) Alex and I had a fantastic Memorial Day weekend trip. Brynna had a lovely long weekend with M and Deen, and we grown-ups headed for the upper midwest to meet Steve and Lucy's new baby and to attend Todd and Ellen's wedding.

We started in Chicago with lots of baby-snuggling. Check out the beautiful Miss M!


Yeah, I really miss this part:




Look! Alex and I are in the same place! At the same time! Awake! Having breakfast at the fabulous Tweet.


Then Lucy and Steve were kind enough to let us take their car to Michigan for the wedding. It was our first expedition in a hybrid, and our first time with a GPS.

So, we had to get used to hitting a power button rather than turning a key, which was a little odd:


The GPS came in really handy, especially in the city.


We didn't take any pictures at the wedding party, because we were too busy having fun! Yummy food, lots of games, a joyous occasion all round.

Now, if we could only persuade our midwestern friends to move to New Hampshire...
