Mother's Day Weekend Recap

When I booked my husband's seminar a few months ago, I didnt realize it fell on Mother's Day weekend. We didn't have big plans but certainly we want to spend the day with loved ones especially with my mother and our little family. So, the trip was quick ~ we left Friday and back home Sunday afternoon just in time to spend Mother's day celebration with my folks, having an early dinner out by a lake. It was pleasant and nice. 

The whole weekend was delightful. Hanging out with my sister who lives in Chicago ~ sharing Gino's East pizza and stopping by a local Lego store with the little guy. The weather was cooler last Saturday and it rained a bit. But by the time we were getting ready to head to the airport, the sunny weather was out for a perfect Mother's day! 

Here are a few snapshots from our weekend :

I hope all mother's get to have a wonderful Mother's day last Sunday!

Chicago Trip

We had a little treat last week as my husband had a conference in Chicago and we get to tag along. We love Chicago and we always go every year as I have a sister who lives there and Ben's family who lives close in Indiana. This time the weather was so cold (as expected) and windy and it was a great shift of weather for us and we were all prepared. We bundled up and brought our thick sweaters and coats and boots.  

The day we arrived, it was raining and VERY cold. We stayed at the heart of Michigan Avenue and our daily itinerary was to drink coffee, eat, shop, walk, eat and shop some more!

While daddy attended his meetings, me and my sweet sidekick would hit the Lego and Galt toy stores!

Lunch at Frankie's overlooking Michigan Ave!

Window shopping with mommy. This boy was super bored! 

 We stopped by Ghirardelli for a cup of white chocolate mocha! Delish!

And picked up Garrett popcorn for Aston's teachers! 

We will be travelling again for Thanksgiving and I'm just proud and relieved to share that Aston has been an absolute angel in the plane. I don't mind travelling with a well-behaved buddy over and over again!
