I had a business trip to Chicago and Taylor's cousin, Amelia, that is closest to her age just so happened to move from the suburbs into the downtown area just blocks from Buckingham Fountain! So for Taylor's birthday she got a plane ticket and a trip to visit Amelia. While I worked, my dear sister, took the kids all over the city! 
Sunday night when we landed we had a fun reunion with some close girlfriends that live in the area and their children. It was so fun to have us all together for a bit! Here is Taylor with Catie and Maddie
Taylor and Eleanor
Linda, Heather, Dicy & Nancy!
We had a fun program at work where Jerry from "Ben & Jerry's" came and spoke about collaboration and innovation. And we had ice cream. At 9am in the morning. It was great. And I told Jerry all about our devotion to the brand in the early years (all the t-shirts, pilgrimage to VT, Marilyn's B&J party, Vermonsters, etc)
City living! And it was cold so here they are bundled up to walk to Michigan Avenue
We love the bean at Millenium Park!!
We avoided the American Girl store but had fun at the Disney Store!
It was lots of first for Taylor - first taxi, first bus, first subway! She has been on them as a baby, but this was the first time she remembers.
We did sneak away for breakfast at the Bongo Room! Red Velvet Pancakes and Apple French Toast
No trip to Chicago is finished without Garretts Popcorn!!!
We had such a fun trip together - Taylor was a great traveler, we loved seeing our cousins and are so grateful that Marilyn did all the heavy lifting!
