We took a girls trip to Chicago earlier this week. The original destination was Lake Cumberland, but since my parents are moving to Dallas, we thought a final trip to the windy city was in order.
"The Girls" included Grandma Warner, Aunt Debbie, MaNell, Emme, Aunt Kathy, Katie, Mom, and me. We spent Monday in Geneva - a lovely town west of the city with the cutest shops and restaurants around. Then Tuesday we went downtown.
We walked to the train station from my parents' house (about a 15 minute walk), then rode the train downtown. It was the neatest experience! It reminded me of being in Europe and that I love public transportation. Ha! Here we are at Ogilvie Station. Warner had a blast too!
We then proceeded to walk walk felt like 10 miles downtown. It probably wasn't that much, and I suppose we walked off our lunch at Cheesecake Factory and dessert of Garrett's popcorn, so it was worth it. Our first stop was Millennium Park.
Here is "the bean". Warner loved this, as he could see his reflection in it.
Here's our "group picture" at the bean. Notice Emme's face. I love it.
The rest of our trip was spent at my parents' house. Warner loved watching Emme, and she just cooed over him. She still thinks he's her baby brother. Mom, Warner, and I left Wednesday afternoon for Cincinnati, and have been enjoying Grammie's company at our house since. She leaves today for the lake, and then for Texas ...
