We took an overnight trip to Chicago for a wedding this weekend. A friend of mine from KinderCare got married and so we headed up north for some fun. My niece Amy met us there to watch Oliver while Eric and I went to the wedding and reception. The wedding was fun and we had delicious food.
Sunday morning we went swimming right after breakfast. Oliver had a blast. The hotel had a kiddie pool that went from 6 inches to 18 inches and had fountains and was warm. It was perfect for Oliver - and it probably helped that we were the only ones in the pool. After swimming, we all got ready for the day and checked out by 11:00.
We went to downtown Chicago to go to Macy's. Amy had a bit of shopping to do and we wanted to get Oliver's picture with the Macy's Santa. The Macy's there was huge (12 floors) and way too crowded for our likings. We walked around a bit and ate lunch there and then headed out. We didn't get the Santa picture- it was a 2-hour line and we were not going to wait that long- I'm pretty sure the Santa at our mall with work just fine.
After our shopping excursion, Amy headed home and Eric, Oliver, and myself went to Millenium Park. We took some pictures and did a little sightseeing. They had an ice skating rink there too.
It was a very fun weekend. Oliver was a perfect traveler- in the 6 total hours we were in the car, he only fussed about 5 minutes. We couldn't have asked for a better trip. A huge THANKS to Amy for meeting us in Chicago and watching Oliver!

It was loads of fun until I got trapped in that underground parking garage hahaha
But then we came to your rescue! :)
Looks like you had a great time in Chicago. Oliver looks pretty happy with himself. I believe Amy had a very good time with him too. Thanks for saving her in the parking garage! See you soon!
