Brian had joined the London party, so that meant a few more hot spots – many along the Thames River. We even went on a cruise and took in the sites from the water (with more playground time, of course).

We packed so much in during our time in Chicago, so here’s a wrap up of many other highlights during our stay!

Sometimes it’s adding David Hasselhoff in the background, floating hearts, or combining a few similar photos to create a GIF. Here are some of our favorites, including…
