Tanner – Arlington Heights Visit

I, for some reason, enjoy traveling. I’m not just talking about traveling to some foreign country, or even visiting family. I’m talking about sitting on airplanes, waiting for hours or even sleeping in airports, traveling by train, or even by car or ship. I can’t explain it, but I have always enjoyed it. Sarah and I went on a cruise for our honeymoon. The part I enjoyed most? It wasn’t walking up to the top of Dunn’s River Falls in Jamaica, or the Tequila factory in México. It was our days at sea, going to our destinations.

This weekend was no exception, Sarah and I flew up to Arlington Heights(Chicago Area), Illinois, along with Sarah’s mom, to visit Ryan, Jenny(Sarah’s Sister), and Tanner(Our nephew). We were supposed to go to Chicago a month ago for Tanner’s 2nd birthday, but a ton of stuff got in the way, and we had to postpone our flight to this last weekend. Well, wouldn’t you know it, Chicago decided to get to 20˚F and snow 12 inches the very day that we were supposed to go. I always have a can-do attitude, so I said to the family, “let’s go anyway.” My reasoning was that if our flight was cancelled, we would be stuck in our layover city(Phoenix) and my mom could pick us up and drop us off the next day. Well, we somehow got all the way to Chicago with no problems at all. and were able to spend the whole weekend there with no delays or problems!

Tanner is one of my favorite subjects to photograph. I know, I’m probably a little biased, but I just think he’s the cutest thing ever. He recently started talking A LOT… and he LOVES Elmo and chocolate. He’s always asking for chocolate(shoclate) milk.

So here are the photos from this last weekend. There were so many  great photos that I had to narrow it down to my favorites.
