The Windy City!

We love Chicago! Seth received a "major" award and needed to go to Chicago to receive it so we decided to make a family vacation out of it. It was the vacation of all vacations with a fancy hotel, food, and entertainment(museums X 5)! I'll let the pictures explain:

Green stroller and green Kermit! I loved this stroller, to bad it's not mine for keeps:(
Inside the Museum of Science and Technology, the best museum by far!

Charlie fulfilled his life long dream of going to the Lego Store(shhh , there's actually one not to far from our house I just found out about)

Our view driving into the city!
Heaven on earth! Real Chicago stuffed pizza at Giordanos!
We watched the bridge go up so the sailboats could get out, mesmerizing.
My first Chicago style dog, different but good.

Seth and Charlie getting ready to blast off in the huge rocket at the Planetarium!
Matthew lounging at the pool with the city skyline in the background.
I'm so grateful I was able to peak inside the American Girl store for a few minutes(all my boys needed to go to the bathroom). I really wish I could have fast forward the clock so Lucy could have enjoyed it. We'll just have to come back some day!
Matthew and Seth at the Cheesecake factory, oh yum!
Our little dinosaur baby Lucy!
Meeting "Sue" for the first time at the Field Museum.

This really was a charmed vacation because nobody was sick, Lucy liked riding in the "buggy" stroller, no tantrums I can remember, some rain but a lot of sunshine, happy kids, happy husband, wonderful soft beds, not having to make the beds, the food channel, great pool with a view of the city and harbor, sauna, good food, good food, and more good food! We also visited EVERY public restroom in downtown Chicago and road on EVERY elevator:)
