So, it's been over a week, but I wanted to show these pictures, because I am in love with Chicago. We left to visit my dad on December 20th and got home the 22nd. I was finally able to show my husband, after seven years of being together, my second home. Sorry some of these are blurry, I forgot the extra camera battery at home and didn't want to waste the one I had so I didn't use a flash the entire time.
 |
| Finally in Illinois! Every classic traveling with kids issue you can think of we had. Screaming, crying and about 100 are we there yets! |
 |
| Yet, they look like such angels! |
 |
| Daddy putting together the kids meal toy. |
 |
| Getting PJ's on at dad's house |
 |
| My dad's injured cat. |
 |
| Meeting the cats. Charlie said, 'nice nice' |
 |
| Running to the Metra. Dad must have forgotten what it's like to get ready with two little ones. We made the train by 2 minutes. |
 |
| Charlie loves the train as much as I do! |
 |
| He talked about everything he saw out the window. |
 |
| Union Station!!! I went here all the time as a kid! |
 |
| And there she is, I get excited seeing this, even with the fog blocking half the view! |
 |
| Dario, my dad and my little brother, Marshall. |
 |
| Amazing coffee shop, Intelegence, something like that. |
 |
| Way cool, I need to learn how to do this. |
 |
| Macys, however it will always be Marshall Fields to me. |
 |
| Santa time!! |
 |
| Figuring out Santa's navigation system. |
 |
| It's great that they have this interactive stuff to distract the kids while you are in the looonggg line. |
 |
| I was leaning my arms over, I hate heights! |
 |
| In the ornament section, A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! |
 |
| Dad wanted to show us the Tiffany Dome. |
 |
| Yeah I want something like this in my home! ;) |
 |
| I zoomed in so Dario has a template to start from. |
 |
| Going around the Macys building looking at the display windows |
 |
| When this bus went by I told my husband it was a sign, and he needed to buy me a coach purse. |
 |
| Christmas trees by our table in the Walnut Room |
 |
| Faith and her fancy apple cider. |
 |
| The Christmas fairy came to our table to grant wishes. |

 |
| I really like this picture. |
 |
| Haha, Charlie after waking up from his nap. He gets sweaty! |
 |
| Faith made a gingerbread girl. Nice heels! |
 |
| It's getting very serious in here! Actually, my dad is just a big goofball! |
 |
| I love how they make eachother laugh so hard. |
 |
| Mmm Chicken Alfredo Pizza |
 |
| Opening gifts |
 |
| The next morning, getting ready to go home, well Dario and I were. |
 |
| Again, dad being goofy chasing the car. |
