Morgen's Visit

 Morgen came to visit Chicago as her last stop in her travels to the 

"Lower 48."  I worked the entire week, but was able to spend some time with her.  We traveled up 103 floors to the Sky Deck on the Sears Tower, ehem, Willis Tower, and enjoyed spectacular views.  I haven't been up there since they built the clear ledges.  I made a B line to it.  It was so interesting looking straight down.  Some people were jumping in the glass rooms, that however, I did not do. 

 

 As you can tell it was a beautiful clear day.  January and 50 degrees.  Not too shabby.

 Two days later it was 7 degrees... and we went to the Chicago Wolves Game.  Adam was very excited to meet Skates.

 While Morgen was very excited to eat cotton candy!  

 The weekend was a fun one spent in Madison with old family friends Judy, Stan, and their daughter Kate.  Ann and Mike couldn't be there!  : ( 

We made a stop at Adam and Morgen's old home, their first home, the home their parents brought them too for the first time ever.  It was really neat hearing Morgen and Adam reminisce.  I have lived in the same place my whole life really, so I can not really relate.  If I want to hang in my old bedroom.  I still can.

 Here we are at University of Madison, standing in front of the ice cold lake.

Kate took the picture.

After an afternoon of shopping, eating brats, and doing Wisconsin things, we sat down to a wonderful feast of fried chicken, mashed potatos, green beans, salad, and a chocolate chip cheesecake, made by the hands of Judy.  It was such a nice day, and we can't wait to visit again!!!

We wish Morgen would move back to the lower 48.  It's always hard to say good bye to her as we never know when we will see her.  It's a long trip from Alaska.  But we were glad to have spent a week with her.  She's easy to please... Gene and Judes, Hockey, Portillos, Five Guys, Bowling, Chipolte, Grand Lux Cafe, BW3, Beer, the Zoo, and Coffee.  Gotta love her.
