And so we went.
Gus is ready for a road trip!
I cannot figure out why this is underlined now, and can't make it go away......A highlight of the trip was meeting miss Eloise, Katrina's little girl who was born last August. Here Gus gives her the first of many cute hugs.
Aside from doing lots of eating and drinking (as usual....) we spent Saturday morning at the Morton Arboretum, which also happens to be where Katrina works. Gus enjoyed exploring the children's garden.
Miss Eloise!
Gus also enjoyed 'walking' with Erikka and daddy, who more or less just lifted him around.

There is some weird art thing going on, where artists are working to completely cover this tree with crocheted things. Very bizarre.
After hitting the Arboretum on Saturday, we drove to Two Brothers Brewery in Warrenville. I had never heard of it before, but since Goose Island just sold out to Anheuser-Busch, it is now actually the largest craft brewery in IL. Who knew? Thankfully, Gus fell asleep on our way to the brewery, and continued his nap during part of our visit at the brewery. Any nap is better than no nap.
One of my Two Brothers brews - Ebel's weiss perhaps? Good stuff.
Naked babies!
All in all, it was a nice trip (other than discovering that Gus now refuses to sleep in a Pack-n-Play). In addition to spending time with Erikka and Katrina, we also visited our friends Ashley and Nate - Ashley is having her first baby any day now - so it was really nice to see them.
And now the question is - when will Erikka come home next year and force us to get together again?? No pressure ;)
