We spent last weekend in Chicago. We did this last year and loved it so much, we decided to do it again. You wouldn't believe how many people tell me W is going to hate his birthday because it's so close to Christmas. I find it really obnoxious. After several rounds of IVF, I don't care when my kids' birthdays are - I'm just happy they're here. Anyway, we've tried to make December extra special so W doesn't feel slighted. Back to Chicago...
We arrived at the hotel around 3 and our room wasn't ready yet. We left our luggage at the hotel and ventured out. It was fun to walk along Michigan Avenue and we found a restaurant for an early dinner.
After dinner, we headed back to the hotel. Our room was ready and we had a beautiful view of Michigan Avenue. The boys decided to check out the pool and enjoyed swimming.
From there, we headed to Zoo Lights at Lincoln Park Zoo. Although, the zoo wasn't far, traffic was horrendous and it took awhile to get there. We had a great time seeing all the lights and checking out some of the animals. We returned to our hotel exhausted.
Sunday, we visited the world's largest Starbucks. It was fun to see, but definitely intimidating.
We headed to breakfast at the Grand Lux Cafe and were seated right by a large window. It was so fun for the boys - they enjoyed people watching and even got to see a garbage truck.
Such a fun weekend!
