Johnson Space Center trip

My family and I visited the Johnson Space Center (JSC) to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo missions. There just so happened to be a George Lucas exhibit going on.

Chicago July 09

So many pics, so hard to choose. I love going home. So much downtown and on the south side to take pictures of. This trip was unique that my wife and I, having never been in, took the trip up to the 103rd story observatory deck of the Sears Tower. I refuse to call it the new name because to a true native that's what it'll always be. So on the 103rd floor I took a bunch of pics and then we ventured out onto the new floating rooms. So that's our feet on glass 103 floors up just hanging out over the street. It was an awsome experience. On the way back to out parents homes I took some pics of our much used Metra line and my fave place to get my dogs, which just so happens to be where my wife worked in high school.

Alice's Surprise 50th

My wife threw her mom a surprise 50th birthday party with a Hawaiian Elvis theme. It was a colorful good time.

 

Chicago 06

Back in 06 I was downtown around Millenium Park just enjoying a nice day. This was one of the last times there before the big move to Houston.

Memorial Day 06

Here are a few pics from Memorial Day 2006 on the south side of Chicago. On is particular day my father-in-law was receiving his medals from his services during Vietnam.
