The Windy City

On Friday, December 26th after work, the CT Gangwers along with Lizzy's boyfriend, Stas, headed to visit the IL grandparents.  We made it to DeBois, PA for the night; then got to Oswego, IL Saturday afternoon.

On Sunday we went to Harvest Bible Church, had a turkey dinner, exchanged Christmas gifts, then spent the rest of the day watching football.

On Monday, Chad (Tammy's brother) took us into Chicago.  We visited the Willis Tower (formerly known as the Sear's Tower), the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Buckingham Fountain.  We drove by Soldier Field, stopped outside Wrigley Field, and ate at Lucky's.  Tuesday, we drove by the house where Tammy grew up in Boulder Hill and went shopping at the nearby mall and stores.  Tuesday night, we took in a basketball game at the high school were Chad teaches.

The next several days we just hung out around the house until we left on Friday for the Danville area of IL for a friend of Lizzy's wedding.  Tammy and I spent that night in Indianapolis where we visited my sister Randi's family and the church where her husband is the pastor.  

Saturday we attended the wedding in which Lizzy was a bridesmaid and Stas an usher.  The next day, we drove the 14 hours home getting back at 10pm.
