Savannah and I headed to Chicago this past weekend for a girls weekend prior to me heading back to work. We headed out to visit friend from college. We left the house mid-morning on Thursday. I wasn't looking forward to the ride with Savannah, but she did great. I thought with the potty training we would have to make more stops.
When we arrived, Paychek greeted us. We found a spot on the street right outside her condo!! We unpacked and hung out a bit. We then headed out to dinner. We went to a place called Flattop. Where it is a make your own stirfry place. Yummy! Savannah didn't eat much, but what else is new. We were pretty tired so off to bed we went.
Friday morning we decided to head to the beach. Savannah had a blast! She could have stayed there all day. We thought the water was going to be cold and it was much warmer than we thought it was going to be. Oh and the best part of the beach I think for Savannah was we got to ride the train there. She kept talking about how many "buddies" kept getting on and off the train. It was pretty funny. We headed to a little mexican place for lunch and then back to Paychek's for nap time.
After nap we decided to head out to Kiddyland! It was a little amusement park for kids. And of course Savannah had a blast. She loved rides. We did the roller coaster, the ferris wheel, the merry go round and even some water ride where Savannah and I got soaked. Once again off to bed! By the way sleeping with a 2 year old on a blow up mattress! Yikes. That girls moves around a lot. She has never slept with us so I had no idea how much that girl moves around!
On Saturday we headed to the zoo. We stopped off first to get Kristin's new iPhone (which is really cool by the way), and then we were off. We had a nice time at the zoo. It was a really cool zoo. Much different than the one we have here. We had a little accident at the playground so had to leave somewhat quickly.
We drove around a bit because Savannah fell asleep in the car. I knew she wouldn't go back to sleep. That night we headed down to a festival a few block away. We took the bus there (another cool thing for Savannah!) and walked back. It was nice, but pretty crowded. A stroller trying to go through a bunch of drunk people :)
We went to brunch on Sunday and then back to Cleveland. The ride home was great too. Savannah slept for over half of it. We had a great time in Chicago. It was about time for us to visit Paychek! She is always coming here. Hope we can do it again sometime. Maybe the whole family the next time.
Oh and PS - CJ went for his 4 month check up on Wednesday. He was 16 pounds 7 ounces! Still a little chunker! 89% for weight and 99% for height!

Kristin.........that sounds like a "SPOIL ME ROTTEN" Weekend. Those were always my favorite. It looks like she had a great time. I am sure Paycheck was glad to have you. It is about time to go back to work, so enjoy the end of the free time. Hope to see you soon. LU
Sounds like a great weekend. That was pretty special.
