Chicago Day 3

Day 2 in Chicago brought beautiful weather. We went shopping in the afternoon and Tyler got some new clothes and an awesome winter hat from H & M. I spent the rest of the afternoon browsing through the shops on Rush and State Streets, my favorite being Anthopolgie. It was very hard leaving that store without buying anything! I really love Rush Street. It's quaint and cute and it seems like you are a million miles away from the Magnificent Mile. I prefer shopping this area than being on Michigan Ave.

Tyler's new sweater from H & M

A few of my favorite things from Anthropologie right now...(as in if I had $, they would be mine)

Chicago Day 2

Day 2 in Chicago wasn't much fun. It poured all day and there was an hour long wait (outside) for a taxi because of some conference at the hotel.

18 month old + one room + all day long = not fun

I ended up working from the hotel on Monday since we couldn't go anywhere using their wifi that was as slow as dial up. Another fun part of my day.
On a brighter note, I wasn't at home with chores to do or at work!

We played hide-and-go seek with the chair in our room for entertainmnet...

Tyler had fun with Oreos while I worked.

Kids with stuff on their faces used to really gross me out.

Now it means I'm accomplishing something...

Chicago Day 1

We were in Chicago last week because Mike was working the Mitsubishi booth at a machine/manufacturing show (IMTS) at McCormick Place. Tyler and I tagged along so we could play while Mike worked. We arrived Sunday evening and we stayed at the Hyatt Regency (where we stayed for our honeymoon). It's a great hotel with a view of the Chicago River. The room's windows were floor to ceiling and Tyler was in love with leaving his finger prints all over the window while shouting at people on the street who, of course, couldn't hear him...
