My Kind of Town....Chicago!

It all started here...an innocent little store called
AMERICAN GIRL !
Here is MY American girl!

Our family planned a day trip to one of our favorite cities...Chicago!
We live about 30 miles outside of the big city and love to visit and enjoy all it's beauty! 

What a perfect day!
This church was built in the early 1900's. The stained glass windows just glowed!
Tribune Tower....what gorgeous detail in the stone work!
More great building views!

For some reason my husband walked really fast when we walked by this one!! :)
A very HOT, sunny day on Lake Michigan Beach!
The rest of ma famille.
We had such a great day together;
 from a sunny, hot day shopping and going to the beach
 to
a stormy, windy night in China Town, eating egg rolls, soaking wet
but,
laughing together and making memories!!

  1. Looks like a great day in Chicago. It's a wonderful city. I seem to only get there when I have a business meeting so I haven't really ever had a chance to explore the city. Thanks for sharing the photos.

  3. Looks like you guys had a great day! I agree; Chicago is a wonderful town. I also liked your post about the chandelier -- like the way you dressed it up. Thanks for your nice post on our blog -- did you get to come by at Kane? Hope so! And hope you'll come see us again -- on-line and in person. xo
