Usually when Dan travels it's to far away lands where wives and babies are not aloud. But last week he had a mini conference Thursday and Friday and you bet your blue bottom dollar Norah and I crashed the party, Chicago style!
Norah and I got downtown Thursday night just in time for dinner with Dan and his co-workers. Of course the 5 star, fancy-smancy italian restaurant they chose wasn't best suited for a cranky, hungry baby so after waiting an hour (just to get our food) we kindly took ours to go and scarfed it down in the hotel room:)
Friday morning Dan headed off to the rest of his conference, while Norah and I cruised Michigan Ave! The weather resembled a delightful crisp fall air! After window shopping all our favorite stores (Norah was particularly fond of an american girl biddy baby doll), it was back to the hotel for naps!
Dan was finished with meetings mid-day Friday so we continued shopping and decided to take in the view from the Hancock Building. My ears were popping the entire 42 second elevator ride to the 96th floor(I think that's right).
WHAT A VIEW!!!
A lot of our time was spent deciding on what food we were going to eat! Friday night it was Chicago deep dish pizza. Fabulous! Saturday morning was chocolate croissants and salted caramel hot chocolate. Is your mouth watering yet? It should be.
It was a fun weekend getaway and we wished Daddy Dan traveled domestically more often so we could tag along and take advantage of the free room service :)
We got home Saturday night, just in time for bed. Look who got brand new Snow White jammies from the Disney Store?!?!
We are already planning another weekend in Chi Town! We would love to go to Shedd Aquarium, the Zoo, Navy Pier, all the other fun stuff we passed on this trip! Until next time...:)
