Family Weddings
These are pictures of two of our family's weddings: Annie and Joe, and CJ and Jen.  I threw in some pictures of our train trip to Annie and Joe's wedding in Chicago, which was a great experience.  I reccomend it before Amtrack goes belly up.

Ann (Cleary) and Joe's Chicago Wedding

Annie and Joe got married in a gorgeous catholic church in Chicago Annie and Joe at the altar CJ and Jen outside waiting for Annie and Joe to run to the limo
It was a long wait.  Jen got silly.
Julie was 7 months pregnant with Kate at this point, and still looked great!
Us dancing at the reception
All 4 of us at the reception
We got some GREAT chicago style pizza on Friday night.  We all had great fun!
Whole table shot.  It was great!
We went to a CUBS game on Sunday after the wedding.  Annie was a MASTER planner.  She had taken care of all the details for us.  The cubbies played the Indians, so that was a good game.
We had nosebleeds, but Wrigley is a very small field.  With binocs and the camera, we could get pretty close!

Train Trip to Chicago

Brandon dropped us off for a weekend of trains!  here we are at the metro
As part of our sleeper car, we got to wait for the trains in the first class lounge.  It was cool.
Just chillin' in the car.  It was really nice to have that space to ourselves
Julie in the car at the start of the trip
It was a novelty to be talking on our phones on the trip.  We ran the batteries down all the way I think...
Dinner was arranged, and the layout was beautiful.  The speeding train made the food interesting, but MAN, it was good, and all included.  We ate like kings!  Julie loved the apple pie.  She was pregnant.
Here was the long view of the car.  It was group seating, so we had to sit with other passengers.  There was potential there, but we didn't get the brightest crayons in the box.
here we are, the happy couple!
This was an example of the scenery.  This was an old railroad round table, used for oreinting engines and cars.  I think some developer could make a bundle on the property, but it is pretty far out...
A hallway view of the room.  it was TINY... yes, TIIIIINEY!!!

Our arrival at Chicago's Union Station.  I thought it was a fun motion shot
