A weekend away

I had a 4 day training in Chicago in early October, so we took advantage of it and Nancy flew up for the weekend following my training.

We had it all planned out for Camden to stay with Uncle Dave, Aunt Molly, and cousins AJ and Olivia. Then the week of the trip AJ and half her class came down with the flu, so having Camden for the weekend was a no go. Our angel in the sky came in the form of Molly's mother, Cybil. She volunteered to watch Camden for the weekend and she came to our house. She really saved the day (or weekend) and we can't thank her enough.

So the trip moved forward as planned and we had a great time in downtown Chicago. It happened to be the same weekend as the Chicago marathon which I ran in 2001 with my buddies Jeff and Ivey. We were a bit lazy Sunday morning so we just watched a little bit from our hotel room which gave us a good view of a section of the race.

All it all it was a great getaway.
