Four cities, four countries, six plane rides, four train rides, countless jaunts on four different metros, and one boat ride later, we arrived back in Denver after our two-week long "world tour". We fit so much into 14 days and I didn't want to forget a second of it, so I journaled while we were there so we could remember every little detail and observation we made. (This will be the abbreviated version, don't worry.)
Chicago
Our first stop was Chicago: we had another brand new family member to meet, Logan. Nathan's brother and sister-in-law, Ryan and Stacy, are great parents already and together, the three of them make a perfect little family! Logan is very cuddly (and squirmy!) so we had fun "playing" with him. Ryan and Stacy aren't going to post pictures of him, so I won't either, but you'll just have to take my word for it that he is so precious.
We took a long walk around the city with the three other Martins. The boys had to have a pull-up contest: I'm not sure that Nathan against an Iron Man Triathlete was a fair competition :)
We were so excited to get to spend some time with long-time friends. I got to see Lindsay for lunch, and then we went to Nate's college friends' house, Tyler and Lisa's, for dinner. Evan and Kristen, more friends from college, were there, so it was a mini-reunion. Tyler and Lisa made a legit bar in their basement, so we hung out until the bar closed (or, until all the people that had to work the next day tapped out).
Being back in the Midwest was kind of like going home for me. It was fun to be a tourist in a city that I've seen so many times. This was probably the best layover of my life :)
