I think the highlight of the trip for Emmy was the revolving doors. Personally, I hate them, especially trying to get a stroller through it, we almost got stuck more than once...
Sunday we went to the Shedd Aquarium.
How cool is the view from the restaurant patio from the aquarium?!
Emmy and I had an afternoon snack at Starbucks. Such a a big girl.
Pestering Marc again... He paid the price for feeding the kid so much candy and treats!
Family pic at the river!
Hands down the funniest part of the trip. We walked to Whole Foods to pick up dinner. We knew it may rain so had 2 umbrellas with us, one of which was Emmy's small princess umbrella. We stepped outside into a torrential rain pour! Marc ran with our paper bags which broke on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. Julie and I ran with Emmy in the stroller who was crying because she was soaked and it started to thunder and lightening. By the time we made it the 5 blocks back to the hotel we were soaked head to toe. We dried off, changed our clothes and then looked out the window. The rain already stopped. We were the only assholes that braved he 10 minute downpour.
Marc, Emmy and I took the train to Millennium Park. Marc is used to hopping on the subway so was very patient when Emmy insisted on walking down the stairs and then I literally got me, my belly and the stroller stuck getting through the ticketing turn thing (I can't remember what the hell those things are called!)
Such a cool park with awesome fountain structures and views. I don't think Marc ever expected to push a stroller around so much!
The bean!
Right before we got on the plane home, pestering Marc until the last minute.
Thank you brother and sister for being so patient with your pregnant sister and 3 year old niece for 5 days during one of the best trips ever. I am so lucky to have sibs who wanted to hang out with us as much as we wanted to with them. We certainly have many memories to think back and laugh at! Love you!
Love you all SO much!! So proud to be your Mom ...and Nana xo
