Chicago in June

 At the beginning of June, we packed up and headed to Chi town with some friends for CrossFit Regionals competition.  Tony qualified and our bestie Megan did too.  We left the kids in MN thanks to Tammy keeping them safe at night and over the weekend and our friends the Namo's for taking them for two of the days too.  We were in chicago for about five days, as the competition lasted for three of those days.  Unfortunately, it definitely did NOT go as planned and both Tony and Megan received DNF's (did not finish) for one of the workouts on the first day for different reasons, both involving minor injuries that kept them from performing the task.  Sucked. but we still had a ton of fun walking all around Chicago.

The competition was held at Navy Pier right downtown, so we got a hotel as close as we could so we could walk (without totally breaking the bank at least)

 And we walked A LOT.

 We stayed right off the Magnificient Mile!  Would have been cooler if any of us really felt like spending time and money on shopping.  But we did see the Burberry store decked out in total Burberry plaid!

 Pretty church.

 Do I really need to explain this?

 We stayed basically across the street from Sprinkles Cupcakes.  Binging ensued. Really only two cupcakes, but still.

 The part of the competition that they got to actually compete in. Jackie

 Notice the sweet name placards that each athlete got.  Yeah, we took 'em home.

It was awesome to explore the city and see some good competition, even if we did spend an extra 4-5 hours hanging at the airport because Spirit airlines is the worst.
