20th Anniversary Celebration

Jason and I just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary and decided that going back to where we were married would be fun. We couldn't get away on our actual anniversary weekend, however we found time to get away one week early. The pictures really tell the story so here it is:

1.  We stopped first in Dixon, Illinois.  I wanted
to show Jason where Brenden and I did a 5K
race the year before and how cool that little
town was.  So we went to the childhood home of
President Ronald Reagan.  Jason posing with the
statue of the president.

2.  We got checked into our hotel in Shaumburg, IL.  It was
a Holiday Inn Express and was very nice.  It had a King size
bed and lots of extras.  Then we went to pick up our race packet in Hoffman Estates, Illinois at the packet pickup place.  There was this cool fountain so we got our picture
taken in front of it.

3.  For dinner we went to Medieval Times which
is a Dinner Theatre.  The food the great and the show
was very cheesy, but we had a wonderful time.

Our Blue knight that we cheered on.

4.  The next morning we did a race, here is the link from that: race in Chicago



5.  After a shower and checking out of the hotel, we went to lunch
at Chipoltle.  Then we went to this Legoland Discovery Center. 
I wanted to go in but it was $19.00 per adult so we just took pictures
of a few things on the outside of the center.

Jason with Eistein made out of Legos.

6.  While driving into Chicago I saw my favorite building and
had to get pictures of it.

7.  We parked downtown and then headed over to Shedd's
Aquarium.  Jason took pictures of sailboats.

An awesome picture of a Jellyfish at Shedd Aquarium.

This guy was sleeping.  I thought it looked cool.

Jason was messing around in the gift shop.

8.  We got all cleaned up nice and went to a great restaurant called Rose Bud.  I saw another fountain and had to get
pictures in front of it.

An awesome weekend overall. We had a great time.
