Our first trip to the USA was to attend the Graduation Ceremony of our son in Chicago. During the same trip we toured Eastern USA (i.e.
New York, Washington,
Niagara Falls, Buffallo & Orlando).
Taking time off from their busy schedule, my sister and brother-in-law were so affectionate enough to take us to several places in and around Chicago viz. Kirksville, St Louis, Lake Geneva, Wisconsin Dells and more.
We have memories of these trips in pictures which I am happy to share with you.
Have a nice Time!
