We love visitors!

Lincoln's cousin Amanda came to visit.  She and her husband have joined the Peace Corps and will be going to Burkina Faso, Africa in June for two years. This was her last chance to come visit us while we're still in Chicago, and we're so glad she did. We had so much fun!

One of the highlights was her cooking. Amanda is vegan so I was a little skeptical at first. However, she made some really good dishes that we will definitely be making again. My favorites were her mac n' cheese and her lasagna. I also really liked her lentil soup. We were mostly vegan for the time she was here, and I must say it's not terrible when you have an experienced chef with great recipes. I do not think I could give up bacon, though.

We were able to see some of the fun sights in Chicago and enjoy a little bit of sunshine.  I wasn't very good at taking pictures, luckily she got some good ones with her camera (check her facebook page or blog). Here's what I have.

This is at a conservatory that Amanda discovered. It was super cool.
