As you heard, My mom graciously took Maddie, Emily and I to Chicago for some fun last week. We had a great time. We took the train and Emily loved her first train ride. The idea of being able to walk around during a long trip was quite appealing to her!It was definitely a girl oriented trip that Dave and Nate would have absolutely hated. We ate at a lot of fun restaurants, hung out at Navy Pier and Millinium park and visited the Field museum. The girl's highlight of the trip though was The American Girl place. For those of you who don't have girls, you may not have heard about this little doll cult. They draw you in and make you drink the kool-aid before you even realize it.
We spent an entire day at this store. The girls received a "Day at American Girl" package from Grandma. So they were able to bring their American Girls to have their doll's hair done, shop a lot, have a professional photo taken of themselves with their dolls, eat at the A.G. Cafe and even see a play done all about the stories of American Girls. It was a very fun, girly day. Aunt Susan would have loved it! Maddie put it best when she said that even more than all the gifts Grandma gave us, she loved just having Grandma to ourselves for 4 days-especially since she is heading to Japan for three whole months! Thanks Grandma for a wonderful trip! We Love You!
