Another Chicago Trip!

I am a little behind updating, but better late than never.  A few weeks ago, I was finally able to take a trip to Chicago to see Jessie and Clara.  The trip had been postponed a few times due to weather and sick babies.  Winter is a pretty awful time to travel, but I was determined to visit.  Madeleine and I were so stir crazy last month, so some Jessie and Clara time was just what we needed.

We actually had a pretty warm day or two (which Madeleine took advantage of and played in the snow for the first time) and when I say warm, I mean in the upper 30s.  We played in the snow and then left for Chicago later that day.  I decided to drive there at night so that M would sleep most of the 4 hours.  She did pretty well and the drive was thankfully uneventful. 

We had such a good time visiting.  I don't know what it was...I guess we were desperate to be with good friends and a change of scenery.  

We ate delicious food (tried a lot of good restaurants, including amazing dessert), visited the Children's Museum in downtown, visited a Butterfly Garden, had play dates, hit the gym and even got out for a little girl's night without the babies.  Even though the babies didn't sleep well and Clara still had an ear infection, we had a fantastic time!  I so wish Chicago was closer!! (once again, I didn't take many pictures from the trip)

They loved to be in their undies together!
