Windy City Welcome!

Wow...what a fun weekend! My friend Kim and I took our annual overnight trip to Chicago and had an awesome time! Every year we do this and we are blessed with husbands that are more than willing to take the kiddies for the night so we can enjoy some quality girlfriend time. We always say our husbands wouldn't enjoy going anyway because we literally talk and giggle the entire weekend (can you picture them just wishing we would be quiet for just 2 minutes?)!!! We shopped downtown all day Friday, had lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, and after more shopping and a bit of relaxing had a late dinner at Rosebuds (no little ones bedtimes to worry about)! Saturday we went to the spa for massages and then hit the Michigan City Outlets on our way home. It was a wonderful weekend with a wonderful friend!

A few snapshots:

Cheesecake Factory for lunch (and a mid-day cocktail for Jamie)!
The only cocktail my pregnant friend could have all weekend (a rootbeer)!
Goodies in our hotel room from our husbands....seriously the best husbands ever!

Two wonderful girls (or could it be 3 wonderful girls... or maybe 2 wonderful girls and 1 baby boy) deserve a wonderful week-end away... but then I know you two could have fun together anywhere, anytime!

Isn't it great that Chicago is so close, but it feels like a real get-away.
We don't get there nearly as often as we should.
Looks like you had a great time.
I love that your husbands sent gifts-too cute.
