Back in August, my friend Angela asked me if I wanted to go on a girl's trip in Chicago in the fall. I was a quite honestly pretty leery of the idea because I would have to leave Madeleine. The idea sounded fantastic, but I was super worried about leaving her for the first time, having Brody watch her, put her to sleep and feed her all by himself. In the end, I agreed to go after some persuasion. I definitely needed a break after a long summer of taking care of the baby without much help! After it was all said and done, my pediatrician's words summed it perfectly. She said, "Most parents worry about leaving their children for the first time, but after its over they never regret it." I totally agree!
Angela and I flew to Chicago and stayed at a hotel on Magnificent Mile. We loved the location and the fact that we got it for free! We met up with Jessie on the first night and she was able to stay the night in the hotel, leaving Clara for the first time. We loved to opportunity to sleep minus interruptions from babies. (too bad I couldn't sleep much past 6 a.m. because of my internal clock) We also loved shopping without strollers, eating out, exploring and just relaxing! We decided that these girl's trips need to be an annual thing!

We also visited the Navy Pier and rode the ferris wheel, Millennium Park and lots and lots of stores :)
