We celebrated a couple of days off from school for the girlies with a short trip to Chicago this week. It was our fall break and our "normal" tradition of heading to Gatlinburg, TN got changed up a bit this year. Jason had a meeting for work in Chicago on Friday morning so we decided to head there with him and turn his business trip for the day into an overnight trip for the family. We were able to enjoy a very nice hotel with a great indoor heated pool (AHHHH!!!!) and of course had to sneak in a trip to the American Girl store downtown too! Allie and Mommy have been there before but this was Lauren and Katelyn's first time to go and oh my, they were overwhelmed at just the sight of all of the girl dolls and baby dolls to see! I wish we could have captured a photo of their eyes when we walked into the store.....Lauren's eyes were huge with excitement and she told me it was unbelieveable! ; ) Kate loved the Bitty Baby area and did not want to leave the stroller that she was having so much fun with while we were there. I have a feeling that we've started something.....it appears she's also already crazy about these dolls! Since we have friends from our college days at Ball State that live just outside of Chicago, we were also able to spend a bit of time catching up with them and their two little boys as well. We had a great time together and returned home with some fond memories and tired little ones!
