Our First Visitor Since Being In Chicago: Spencer!

The Wendella Boat Tour through downtown Chicago in 90 degree humid weather... Nothing like a good sticky sweat!

Hudson was a champ on the boat. He just happily looked around like he actually knew which building the tour guide was referring to.

Call me lazy, but I highly recommend going the shaded boat tour route to see the city (hot day or not, but ESPECIALLY on a hot day!)

We walked down the "Magnificent Mile" on Michigan Ave. stopping at: Tiffany's & Co. (Spence was awesome to pose as my "fake hubby" for the day since Tom was at school, I couldn't ask him to buy me some "bling" too), Neiman Marcus , Nike Town, going to the 95th floor of the Hancock building, and eating Chicago-famous deep dish pizza at Giordano's off of Superior and Rush (totally worth the stop!)

Bonding with Uncle Spence at Lake Michigan beach in Lake Forest 

While downtown, (and after nearly missing the boat tour even though we pushed it back 3 times...) Spence learned how our schedule revolves around our little guy:) We had to frequently and strategically stop to feed and cool down Hudson... Spence went the extra mile to read a book to Hudson in the "ritzy"Trump Hotel during one of our stops.

I put Hudson in this ducky outfit thinking he looked fit for the beach. Although he had to think about it for a little bit, he really did enjoy our trip to the beach. He particularly loved the pebbled sand granules between his toes!

Documenting the 3 amigos at the Hancock building. Hudson insisted not only on being apart of this picture, but on being front and center.

Spence tried to get Hudson into the water without him YELPING. He really didn't like it at first (Lake Michigan isn't the warmest body of water), but he eventually warmed up to it. "Look Mom, just chillin' in Lake Michigan" :)
