    Beautiful photos! We went to Mount Ranier (The Mountain to all of us in Western WA) every spring and summer. It was always a fun family day with picnics, visiting Paradise, playing in the snow, and stopping at that small cafe for some of their delicious pie.

I have been so busy lately and found it difficult to balance my life with blogging work and household chores. As you know household chores never end. Everyday same routine of cooking, cleaning and do the dishes keeps me busy and don’t get enough time for my blog as well.

But still people are excited to say bye to old year and welcoming new year with fun and celebration. Last year I was traveling to India so I missed the opportunity to experience how Chicago welcomes new year. So this time we decided to go to the Chicago. I heard lot about Navy Pier fireworks. So I wanted to see it. We went to Devon Ave directly and had yummy South Indian dinner in the Udupi Cafe. After dinner we head to the Navy Pier. There was plenty of traffic in downtown.

We preferred to take walk along the side of lake and enjoyed cold breeze.  Fireworks started exactly at midnight. Fireworks with the background of high rise buildings was l...
