Meet the Norton's!

This weekend I traveled to Chicago, again. This time my entire family, mom, dad and brother all traveled with me to meet my boyfriends parents, sisters and nephew. We had a wonderful time! His family ordered Chicago style pizza for all of us to try. (this is not one of my favorite meals by any means but it was a fun experience). On Saturday we were able to travel to the city where we experienced Millennium Park. This was awesome! We took pictures in the "Bean". This is a giant steal sculpture that shows your reflection, it is so perfect that you can take a picture of yourself in it and capture the entire city in the background...other than seeing the camera in the picture, you would never know you took it of yourself, it doesn't look like a reflection but an actual picture! We ate lunch at Ed Debevics, experienced Nike Town and headed back home. I think we walked a total of 13 miles in about 3 and 1/2 hours! We didn't have much time but were able to enjoy what time we had. After this we went back to his parents home, chatted, played Nintendo Wii, and then my parents, his sister, my boyfriend and I all went to a small bar where we listened to some oldies rock & roll music! On Sunday his mother fixed us all a huge breakfast and his older sister, brother-in-law, and nephew came to visit us as well. We then headed home. It seemed that both our families really enjoyed one another and had a great time!
