Girls Weekend

I was fortunate enough to have a girls weekend to Chicago this past weekend with Maren & Docia. We had good reason to celebrate as we went for our friend Jackie's baby shower. Away we went, with pregnant Docia armed & ready, Friday morning.
Friday, we shopped Michigan Avenue & ate at Cafe Iberico, a tapas restaurant where I was able to enjoy some sangria!! We walked around a bit more and found some yummy dessert at Chilis that night. Saturday morning before the shower, we walked down to the river in search for Garretts popcorn. The one on Michigan closed, but we were grateful we did find another one not too far away (and with Maren's good detective skills as she noticed someone with a a Garretts bag)
We had lunch and a fabulous shower at the Union Club. Jackie got lots of cute presents for the baby!
Saturday night, all of us, including Jackie's family (Tom, her Mom & Dad, and brother & sister-in-law were all there) went to PF Changs for dinner. Of course, we had to cap the night off with some good old fashioned ice cream! Sunday, the 3 of us set off for a walk to the lake. We enjoyed the beautiful weather that weekend-it made me very Chicago sick.
We capped the trip off with lunch at Gino's East. Yummy Chicago pizza!
