Chicago Part 2--August '13

After family nap time at the hotel, we had big plans!  First up, we were headed to our good friend Vanessa's block party.  Her whole street was shut down for, as the name implies, an actual block party!  Her whole street was out enjoying the day.  Vanessa and Tim were wonderful hosts and it was great catching up!  Eliza really enjoyed herself, too.

Dress-less coloring to keep the markers off!

Going for a spin!

Sadly, I have no photographic evidence that we were with Vanessa--fail!  From here, it was on to Evanston to enjoy dinner at Gino's East with Uncle Adam and Bridget.  Eliza was really excited!  Thanks to our new car's back-up camera and gridlines, we parallel parked our SUV into the tiniest spot--thankfully someone left before we did or else we might not have gotten out!

"I think this would look good on you, Uncle Adam!"

Perfect fit!  ;)
After we stuffed ourselves at dinner, we contemplated returning to Navy Pier to watch the festival fireworks, since we still had our wristbands.  But, it'd been a long day, so we called it a night.  We had another fun day planned the next day!

Up next, Part 3!
