We’ve made our yearly pilgrimage to Chicago once again.

It was a very long day of travel and set-up. We got up at 5am and headed to the airport. Once on the flight, with a little manuevering Merc and I got to sit next to each other, which was a nice surprise as our flight was packed! I fell asleep almost immediately and really couldn’t stay awake.

It’s pretty darn cold here, which is one really nice thing about coming here this time of year. We are supposed to get snow tomorrow (crossing my fingers). Chicago is a great place, and perfect for kicking off the holiday season.
