After a few days in Illinois, we headed over to Iowa to see Grandma and Grandpa Rowe and the rest of the fam. We spent a few days with them...we went to Mario's for YUMMY panzerotti (which Deb must have every time she goes home), Aunt Becca and Grandma enjoyed some shopping time with the girls, and Kira and Aunt Becca played stuffed animals for hours (Kira was delighted find an adult with imagination!). At the end of the week, just before our flight home, we spent a little time in Chicago, where we shopped and went to Lincoln Park Zoo. It was cool and windy (like Chicago tends to be in the spring), but we loved the zoo.
