Every time the Bushman family gets together for a vacation it is guaranteed to be a good time. Our recent adventure was to the Midwest to visit my brother and sister-in-law. On April 15, my mom, sister, Bobby and I flew out of OC to Chicago and then maneuvered our way through the airport and rode the EL (elevated train) through the city to Millennium Station where we hopped on another train that took us to the South Bend, Indiana airport- about a 2.5 hour ride. Once we got there, my sister-in-law, Katy, picked us up and we headed to their house and met up with my brother! It was so good to see them. My dad later met us there as he had flown in from North Carolina after a business trip. These times my family gets to spend together are some of my most favorite and treasured times and I feel so blessed to have a family like mine. Some highlights from the trip.....
We walked around Notre Dame campus (my brother and Katy are both students there) and got to enjoy the beautiful architecture of the buildings and some freshly bloomed tulips that lined the walkways.
We went to the Notre Dame Blue & Gold football game which was a pre-season scrimmage between the ND players. We braved it out through the pouring rain thanks to our ponchos!!
After we spent a few days in Indiana, we went back to Chicago to explore the city. One of the highlights was going to a Cubs game at Wrigley Field. I must say it was freezing cold and every time the hot chocolate vendor came around our seats, I had to buy one. :)
THE BEAN. Not exactly sure about the purpose or history of this thing, but it's pretty cool!
The Family (minus Katy- she had to head back to IN early) after a long day of walking about the city in 37 degree weather (25 with windchill). I definitely understand why it's called the windy city! Nonetheless, we enjoyed ourselves and all agreed that Chicago is a pretty neat city.
We flew home on the 19th and not gonna lie, I was pretty happy to be back in sunny California. Good times were had by all and I'm excited to get to see my brother again soon when he comes to California next month! I love my family :)
