Our Trip to the Windy City
We 5 embarked on Sunday with another family for a road trip to Chicago. The main intent was to take the girls to the American Girl store with side benefits of spending time with friends and the boys could go to the Museum of Science and Industry.
The weather was gorgeous. We stayed a few blocks from the miracle mile and thoroughly enjoyed our time walking the beautiful streets of downtown Chicago. This is me and the girls before we left for the store. They were wearing their SweetHeart Name Necklaces http://swedeatheart.com/boutique/product_info.php?products_id=97 and their Shabby Rose tanks of course! http://swedeatheart.com/boutique/product_info.php?cPath=17&products_id=84
We took the dolls to the hair salon where they were coiffed and readied for our tea.
The tea was wonderful and the girls really enjoyed the pink and black dining room and the tea. The store is 3 floors of American Girl wonderland. We enjoyed the historical doll's area where we could see all the scenes. In the bookstore we purchased a book about Kirsten's times to read about life as a Swedish settler in the US. We also were able to do some shopping on the Miracle mile and visit the beach one evening. All in all it was a great trip. I hope we will be able to go again soon and see more of what Chicago has to offer. We were definitely wishing we had a few more days to sight-see. I don't want to bore you with more photos, so if you'd like to see more of our trip, click my flickr badge below. :)

Ann,
What a beautiful photo of you and your girls! I have noticed that you have sold many infinity necklaces. I wear mine all the time. Love it!

You all look like models...wowza! Love the necklaces, too. :)
how fun, and you took some gorgeous pics! Lovvvvve 'em!
Thank you girls. We had so much fun. I could have taken so many more photos if we'd had time. We stayed in the Cathedral district and there were so many photo ops.. *sigh*. :)
Oh how fun! We live in NY and we took Emma to the AG store here for her birthday last year! I could get lost in there!
Don't you just love Chicago! The city, the beach, and American Girl, a pretty good combination. Your daughters are adorable and so is your jewelry. Glad I found your link on Amelia's blog. I'll be back again.
