This Time Around

Next week, my Mother-in-law and her sister are coming for a quick visit and to attend my husband's pinning ceremony. We are all very excited to see Mom again and for me to meet Aunt Shirley for the first time! It's kind of a little sad, though that they'll only be here for 5 days because they couldn't get a leave longer than that, but we'll definitely make the most out of the time they'll be here with us.

When my Mother-in-law came to visit us in April, we planned on going to places in Chicago. But due to John's schedule and us not having a family vehicle yet at the time (not to mention that I was 32 weeks pregnant, too), we never got to do it. Good news is, John will be taking a 2-week leave right after he gets pinned and he said, he'll make sure we all get to go there this time. We got a huge family vehicle now and everybody could fit in it. And while we're there, I would love for us to take the Chicago Bus Tours so we could tour the whole place and not miss a single famous tourist spot they have. And I think it'll save us money for gas if we don't have to drive around to get to one place after another. Sounds convenient to me, but then of course, we've got three kids we need to consider so that will depend on how things go. I guess it doesn't matter which route we take as long as everybody enjoys time, that's all that matters.
