Girls Weekend Fun in Chicago.... In Celebration of Angie and Amy's 30th Birthdays....

Friday Night Relaxing.... Amy, Angie and I arrived in Chicago around 8pm Friday night! We were all exhausted from a long week of working and decided that we were just going to hang out in our room and get some rest!

Hang out is exactly what we did and it was perfect! We cracked open a bottle or two of wine, painted some nails, watch a movie and sat around giggled like we were teenagers again! It was a great night!

We were all fast asleep by midnight! Wanted to be rested for a big Saturday!

A Fun Morning in Millennium Park

After sleeping in a little bit...we all got ready to hit the town! We started off with the much needed Starbucks!
Then Katerine had suggested we check out Millennium Park and we are so glad we did!

It has the most beautiful gardens of greens and flowers, amazing architecture and fun activities for the whole family including water towers!

The picture below is us playing around in front of the bean.

Shopping all afternoon....

Next stop....Shopping

How could you not shop while in Chicago! (although our boys would be proud of how little we bought) We walked up Michigan Ave and hit the Nordstorm Shoe department...checking out all the new Fall Fashions...some that will never be seen on our feet!

Then we got a taxi to Lincoln Park where we enjoyed many cute boutique like stores! A neat area to live!
My favorite store was stinky pants a cute children's store in Lincoln Park where I found a adorable tutu for Bella that I had been regretting not buying while we were in Michigan.
On our way home we hit the opposite side of Michigan Ave we couldn't believe how many people were out!

We were all impressed with how clean and well kept Chicago seemed to be! There were gardens all up and down the streets!

Our Saturday Night Out on the town....

Next....

A night out on the town!
We started our evening out by dining at a fabulous restaurant Scoozi,

thanks to another one of Katherine's wonderful suggestions. We all enjoyed wonderful dinner and some Moscato D'Asti...a wine that I was thrilled to be reintroduced too!

We continue the evening with going to see Wicked.

A phenomenal show! The actress who plays the Wicked Witch has a amazing voice!

I loved the show and the story!

BRAVO!!!!

Check it out if you are in Chicago...it is well worth the money!!!!
After the show we went to a wine bar for dessert and some more chatting!

We still had it... even though we were 30! Not going to bed until 2am...especially Katherine for being 7 months pregnant...way to go, girl!!!

This was one of the best days/nights I had enjoyed for a long time!

Sunday we all slept in and packed up to go home!

We did take a little detour to the Michigan City outlet malls where we got some fun stuff for our baby girls...didn't go into one adult store! How times have changed!

I think we all came home rejuvenated and ready to get our hands on our babies!!!!

A WONDERFUL weekend get-away!!!

THANKS for our wonderful husbands for funding the trip and watching our girls so we could go!

Also to Grammy J and Grandpa for watching Bella since Tim had to work Saturday and Sunday night!

Katherine...THANKS for helping me plan and organize and fun Saturday night and joining us for the celebrating!!! It was GREAT to see you

Amy & Angie....THANKS for leaving home for the weekend without your girls and being up for lots of fun! HAPPY 30th!!!! Love you both!!!
