We celebrated our 11 year anniversary in Chicago a few weeks ago. I guess you could also call it a babymoon as well. We stayed at the W hotel on Lakeshore drive...it's becoming my new favorite place to stay in Chicago. It's in a perfect location...close to shopping and Lake Michigan!
We had great views of Navy Pier! We enjoyed massages at Bliss Spa....
and spent a lazy afternoon on the beach soaking up the sun and reading. The water was still cold but comfortable once you got used to it.
We stuffed ourselves at Rosebud before going to see The Book of Mormon Saturday evening. The show was hilarious!
Sunday morning we spent on Michigan Avenue. I took Nathan through the American Girl store so he could experience first hand what his future beholds! We also made Vivan's first purchase at Tiffany's!
Nathan wrote me this sweet poem on my facebook page....
To My Wife,
No gift can be given that
will ever express the blessing, I received
11 years ago today.
She has given me strength
when life seems to take it away.
She has opened my eyes to
the world to see.
But holding her in my arms,
is the only place that I ever want be.
She even left her warm
Texas sun.
For my Iowa winter fun
She has endured more to
give us a child than any woman should.
And more than any man ever
could.
She looked past the visors
and long blonde hair,
To make us a very unique
pair.
She is my perfect
combination,
of sexy and sophistication.
Happy Anniversary! I love
you Joanna
:)
We had a great time....we are now in full nursery mode and trying to get things finished up. November will be here before we know it!
