Epic Holiday in Chicago April 2018

My beautiful younger cousin Ada married her high school sweetheart, Ryan Piper, "she picked a piper," on April 14th, 2018. So we packed our things and flew across the big blue pond to celebrate and have an epic holiday. We airbnb in Chicago and with a short walk and ride on the train accessed downtown most days. We took the elevator up the tallest skyscraper in Chicago, Willis Tower, formerly known as the Sears Tower which was once the tallest building on Earth! And we stepped out on the ledge. We visited museums, parks, the observatory, Shedds Aquarium, enjoyed a cubs game and spent time with family. The boys got to meet several of their 2nd cousins on my dad's side too!

Cheers Ada and Ryan Piper
