2nd week of vacation in Chicago

Our trip to Chicago was so much fun. Susan and her family also came with us which made it extra special. There are things that can never be capture in pictures or write about it is the special time when you are with someone you love; someone that you can be yourself with, it is the feeling of being truly happy.

Any free time the kids would run to the game room and watch TV, play Wii, exercises, wrestle, or hang with all of that and all the junk food that they like that Nesreen made sure to have before we arrived the kids were in heaven.


At night we went to this amazing dinner that Hilary and Nesreen had set up for us it is called the midieval time. The kids absolutely loved it and specially Yasmeen as she had a special treat since it was the day before her birthday

Hilary’s family his brother and brothers wife, his sister and her family, his aunt and several of the friends came to celebrate Badi’s graduation from the university, Daniel graduation from high school, and Daniel’s Eagle Scout ceremony. This was emotional time for Nesreen as both of her boys would be leaving home moving to Florida. They are both in Orlando now Badi is working as a computer Engineer and Daniel is going to college. Badi and Daniel will both still have someone to baby them when needed as Rosa is only one mile away from them. We are all very proud of and they are setting a good example to all the other kids in the family to follow.

Then we spent the next couple of days visiting museums and down town Chicago and going out with families to eat and spending the night talking and not getting much of sleep.
