This past weekend was the last weekend Fede was here with us before heading back to Italy. He stayed with us a total of a month. He is a excellent baseball player in Italy so we wanted to take him to a Cubbies game before he headed back and see to see part of the city. Chicago played Atlanta last Friday so we went to the game( they lost in the 9th inning, surprised?) then toured Chicago a bit. He really wanted to go to the Sears Tower(now named Willis Tower) and wanted to eat dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. Saturday morning Fede and Matt got up early and headed to Navy Pier before we had to take him to the airport to catch his flight. Nolan and Meredith and I stayed at the hotel and went swimming. I was exhaused from all our Friday activities and Fede and Matt got to see more of Chicago since they didn't have a almost 9 month pregnant woman and 2 kids to slow them down! :-) Anyway, it was a nice time and we were happy to have him, now we just have to wait 5 more years and his sister Carola will come stay with us when she turns 15! We took alot of pictures, but I just wanted to share a few...

| In the new clear lookout box in Willis Tower. In cae you haven't been there lately they have 4 new lookouts and it is completely clear all the way around floor and all. It juts out from the building, so if you look down it is as if you are just hanging out in the air over the city. Pretty strange feeling... |
