~Our Summer Vacation~

Back in February for Valentine's Day, Mike surprised me by purchasing two roundtrip tickets to Chicago. I had been telling him how it had been four years since I had seen my family there and I was missing them. So to celebrate our one year anniversary he made a wish come true. We even convinced my mom to join us after she was done with school. It didn't take much convincing and we were able to get her a ticket on the same flight back. We stayed with my Tia Tonia and Tio Freddy. The first day we were in East Chicago we had dinner at my Tio's and watched the Season Finale of Dancing With The Stars. The next day we went to Merrilville to visit my Tia Virgie and Uncle Ram. We took them to Olive Garden for dinner and went back to their place for my favorite part, chatting around the table. We then headed to Michigan the next day and stopped in Sagatuck for lunch and walked around.

I had to take this one for my dad :)


This is in a small garden on a corner


The tullips were so beautiful!


Last time I was in Sagatuck there was a different statue than this one. I think they are both nice to look at.
