These past couple of weeks have been a lot of fun for me and the family. We have spent time a lot of time with friends and exploring Chicago. This city without a doubt is one of the best cities in the country if not the world. I know we will miss it when we relocate to Houston this August. Chicago has been a great adventure for me and the family.
