C-H-I-C-A-G-O!!!!!

Were planning a small weekend trip to Chicago in April to visit the American Girl Store since we wont be doing a vacation this year and we havent had a vacation in 3 yrs and since its only 6hrs away we can do it all in a weekend!

The 2 younger girls are very excited about visiting the store and eating at the Restaurant. From what Ive been reading they really treat you and your doll like gold! At the restaurant your doll even gets their own little chair,tea cup & saucer. How cute is that! Mady still has all of her money from Christmas so shes excited to spend it there and the other girls are doing chores around the house and getting a weekly allowance to have money to spend. Apparently the store even has a hospital in it in case your doll needs cared for, a doll hair salon & spa,a restaurant,a photo shoot & ear piercing available all for your doll! Crazy I know!

Also, were hoping to stay at the Embassy Suites Hotel which offers a special American Girl Package where you get a bed for your doll to take home,cookies & milk in your room, a photo shoot with your doll at th AG store,a free ag movie in your room & afternoon tea at the ag restaurant.

While in Chicago were thinking about going to the Shedd Aquarium. Its the worlds largest indoor aquarium and its supposed to be amazing!

Another place we are definitly seeing is the Glass Skydeck at the Willis Tower. Im not sure if Doug is gonna do it but I think me and the girls are going up. I mean when will you ever get to stand out on a glass ledge like that? Im doin it!!!
