Illinois: Skokie & Des Plaines




August 23-24, 2008:

The main reason for our Illinois vacation was to visit the family of my grandfather, whom we fondly call Tito Dick. His family migrated to the US when I was still a baby and thus, we have not seen his kids and their own families yet.

It was such a happy reunion! We clicked right away and Evan gained another friend, his Kuya Dylan. We spend the whole weekend EATING Chicago's famous dogs, deep dish pizza and Pinoy home-made ice cream. They even prepared a surprise Tiki party for my Mom who was celebrating her 60th birthday!

To the Magahis family, thanks again for a wonderful time and hope to see you all soon in Pinas! Love you all! :)
