Chicago--Day Three

On Thursday, we walked to Wrigley Field. It was a game day, so there was a lot to take in.

Christy and Carter

Mimi, me, Carter & Christy. Carter finally said Christy's name when we were at the ball park, but unfortunately I couldn't get him to say it again. We still love you, Aunt Sister!

The cutest Cubs fan...sleeping.

Mimi & Carter asleep in the cab. What a great trip! Thanks again for everything, Aunt Sister! We can't wait to visit you in Chicago again.

Chicago--Day Two

Tuesday was our rainy day. It was chilly and wet, but we had fun anyway! We did some shopping to get out of the rain (a win/win!) and went to Millennium Park and saw the big bean...

We stopped by the American Girl Store, even thought that's not really Carter's thing. It is an amazing place and every little girl's dream. This is the hair salon where you can get your doll's hair done to match yours! (Notice the tiny salon chairs.)

This is only one view of one floor! The place takes up four floors! You can get an outfit to match your doll's.

Girls bathroom.

Can you believe this place?!

Doll holder...there's one in each stall in the bathroom.

Navy Pier

You guessed it, Chinatown!

Chicago--Day One

Last Monday, Carter & I flew to Chicago to visit Aunt Christy. Mimi met us there & we had three days of fun sight-seeing, great food and lots of walking! It was a blast. Christy is a wonderful tour guide and knows all about the city. I highly recommend her! It took me almost 34 years to visit Chicago, but it was well worth the wait. I cannot wait to go back when Carter is a little older. What a fun city!

Mimi & Carter outside our hotel...venturing out on Day One. We made it to the Lincoln Park zoo and walked around exploring. And, I got a mani/pedi while Mimi walked with Carter. It was wonderful and such a treat!

Lunch on the patio at Mickey's. Carter was more interested in watching all the trucks & buses go by!

Christy took us to the top of the Hancock building on Tuesday night.

All four of us in the bar on the 96th floor of the John Hancock building. What a view!

Aunt Sister (Christy), me & Carter...oh, and the view.

What's with the grumpy face?
