The Windy City

Today I went into Chicago with Bama and Mommy to meet up with Bama's cousin Bonnie. We got up early to catch the train in to the city. I had so much fun on the train, I loved looking out the windows at all the things as we went by, I even saw a deer when we were in the dunes area.

When we got into the city, we headed over to Macy's (the old Marshall Fields) and waited for Bonnie.

Writing Santa a letter.

Once Bonnie got there, we spent some time walking around the huge 8 floor mall. There were so many fun things to look at and tons of beautiful decorations. I didn't see Santa because it was a two hour wait and Mommy said I wouldn't sit with him anyways. She was so right, he is spooky. I did get to play at the small FAO store they have, I loved the floor piano best. After checking the toys out, it was time for lunch. We headed to the Walnut Room. Mommy had eaten there when she was little at Christmastime too.

After lunch we walked around a bit longer and then headed over to the German Holiday Market at Daley Plaza. http://www.christkindlmarket.com/ I fell asleep while we were walking around so I didn't get to see all the neat things. Boo!

Mommy HAD to go to the big Old Navy before we headed home. She didn't buy anything for herself (shock) but did buy Daddy and I a few things. We said Good-Bye to Bonnie and we all headed for our trains home. I was a bit restless on the ride home. I did "work" on the train by hammering and using some screwdrivers and saws to fix it. I also ate some skittles, I have discovered their yumminess.

When we got home Bumpah had made homemade pizza for us. I did try it, but was not a fan. Mommy said I didn't know what I was missing, maybe next time!
