City Adventures

We woke up today (Saturday) with no plans!  Since soccer starts next week, we knew this would be our last free Saturday for a very long time!  School also starts on Monday so I wanted one last thing checked off our summer bucket list.  So we decided to hop on the train and have a city adventure!

As expected, they loved the train ride!



Our 1st stop was Millenium Park!  We wanted to check out Maggie Daley park. It was great!!!  It's HUGE...and how cool is it to be playing right in the middle of the city.  I didn't get many pics but the girls could have stayed all day!!!We also checked out the bean!







Next we headed over to Eataly for lunch! We had pizza, cheese and salami, and adult beverages!  Libby also ate A LOT of bread...and brought 4 pieces home for the train ride!





As we were leaving Rob decided to get the prime rib sandwich which everyone talks about!  "Life-changing" is how he describes it!  Apparently we are headed back soon for another sandwich!!

Next stop was Dylan's for candy!  We told them they could each pick 5 pieces for the train ride back.  That took 30 minutes!  There's a lot of candy!



We finished our day strolling along the river walk.  Rob and I definitely want to head back to the winery there!!!


All day long the girls couldn't stop talking about how the benches on the train move back and forth...so they were super excited to get 2 seats back to back do we could make a "couch".  Abigail also got my camera and took a cute pic of her sisters!





Spontaneous days are the best...and we made the best of this free Saturday!!!!
