Chicago

For spring break we headed to Chicago. We had big plans a year ago of heading somewhere warm. Well the new little addition to the family kept us from doing that. The doc said no way to me or Emory going very far. In the end we were all happy with the little break that we took across the state line. We actually took a train and surprisingly it was a lot of fun. I would like to do it again before we leave Michigan. Photobucket
You know one of the greatest things about Chicago is the FOOD!! We hit a couple really fun places to eat. Photobucket Photobucket
This cow was in the lobby of our hotel. We stayed in the Hilton downtown. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket This is the line to get into the Aquarium. Safe to say we skipped going! Photobucket This is a shot of the outside of our hotel. Photobucket The famous statue of Marilyn Monroe. We caught Keion lookin' up her skirt... No worries she has undies on! Photobucket Emory was such a trooper. We couldn't have asked for her to be any better. She slept non stop and who wouldn't if they were being held that much? I know I would. Saying Emory is spoiled is an understatement! Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket More food. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Just more pics of different things around the city. Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket For having to change our plans and do something different than what we truly wanted to, Chicago was a hit. The city has some of the best food and shopping. I have a feeling the next time we go back with Emory she too will be carrying around one of those darn American Doll bags. Every little girl in the city had one. Uggghhh!!! Finally we headed home and the only bad thing about being on the train is when it is full and you have to sit next to a crazy lady headed in your same direction. Keion was the fortunate one to sit next to such a gem. This is how he avoided conversation with her... Photobucket If you haven't been to Chicago you must go. I hope my sister comes out and I also want to take my lil bro there to watch a Bulls game, he is loyal fan. Anyone else who wants to come visit I would be happy to ride the train to Chicago with you!!
