SP and I had an amazing trip to Chicago... the time we got to spend together talking, laughing, eating!, playing, will be forever imprinted on my heart! God gave us beautiful time together, safe travels, and wonderful cold snowy weather!
We arrived late Friday night and ate at Pizzaria Uno (yummy!)... then back to the hotel for a movie and good night sleep! We got up early Saturday morning to be at the American Girl Place when the doors opened... It was sooo much fun! We got her doll's hair done, visited the entire store, had photos taken, had tea, ate lunch, went to a show! And in the middle of all that, had time to go over to Water Tower Place and shop a little, then rode to the 94th floor of the Hancock building!!! We had a blast... had hot chocolate at the Hershey's Factory... then, SP gave it a whirl at hailing a cab... threw her arm in the air at the curb, waved, and off we went!!!
We were really sad we didn't get to see our Hogan friends... my phone didn't work while we were in the store and A didn't get my message that we would be finished @5:00... it really made me sad, BUT just means we have to plan another trip sometime!!!
Sunday we took it slow because we were exhausted from our Saturday... we rode the train from downtown out to the burbs to see the Wrights!!! It was like going back in time! We loved it... The conductor punched our tickets a million times like in Polar Express...the train stopped in several cute little towns before getting to their town! We got off the train at a cute train station where C picked us up! SP and C got to play in the snow, build a snowman, even shovel snow out of the yard to keep M and C's house from flooding!!! C made a yummy lunch and we went out to Rosebud's in Highland Park near the North Shore of Lake Michigan to eat dinner (delicious! mouth watering!) Our time with them was to short, but I am so glad we got to spend some time together. It was truly refreshing and recharging to my soul... Thank you C, for the friend you are to me... You are an amazing wife and mother, and I love who I am when I am with you! Thank you for your hospitality and friendship!!! SP and I had a great time!
Just as perfumes and incense bring joy to the heart,
a sweet friendship refreshes the soul.
Proverbs 27:9
