We started things off by tagging along with Kevin to Columbus in May. We discovered downtown, enjoyed some delicious barbeque, and hit up the farmer's market.
Next up, but only for Kevin and me, was Mexico. A few days of friends, relaxing, drinking, and eating was exactly what we needed. Add a wedding to the mix and it was an vacation that we'll always remember.
For me, no summer is complete without a visit to Chicago...and this summer was no different. This visit was a little more tame than the usual visits though. We met up with friends, visited Shedd Aquarium, took pictures at the Bean, and ate our weight in pizza.
Since Kevin spent almost a month working in Buffalo, we met him for the 4th of July up at his family's cottages. The weather was great, Alessia got to play with her cousins, and we took our first family quad ride.
While Detroit isn't far, we haven't been able to take advantage of all it has to offer. We were able to fit in a Tiger's game this summer. It was SO hot....like the hottest day of the year. Alessia lasted about 4 innings, which was a lot longer than I ever imagined she would last.
Our visit to Springfield was cut a bit short due to Alessia getting a summer cold, but we were still able to enjoy ourselves for a few days. And we got to go to the Illinois State Fair.
Vegas was up next. Our trip involved no gambling or drinking. Rather, it involved catching up with great friends and watching our kids play together. Kevin also had the amazing opportunity to present at the National Hockey Coaches Symposium alongside some pretty impressive coaches.
We wrapped up the summer with a weekend trip to Minneapolis with my mom. Kevin worked and us girls shopped, shopped, and shopped some more. There was also some eating, a trip to the hotel pool, and a few rides at Nickelodeon Universe...but mostly shopping.
