When we found out that Notre Dame was playing at Soldier Field, on our anniversary no less--we HAD to go! The girls were a little bummed not to get to go to the game, but they were pretty satisfied with going to the American Girls store, Jamba Juice, and Sprinkles. It was a bit chilly in Chicago--and windy of course--but, we made the most of it. We left after school on Friday, dropped the dog off in Indy, and arrived at our hotel on the "Magnificent Mile" that night. Saturday morning we headed straight American Girl after breakfast. The girls did not get a new doll, but were allowed to pick out one outfit each...it took a while to decide. Then we went to Jamba Juice. It had been way too long...it was so good! I LOVE the pumpkin smoothie! Then we bought some Sprinkles to go, and even used the new "Cupcake ATM" to get a treat for Pumpkin ;) We did a tiny bit of shopping before eating a late lunch/early dinner.
Ready for fun in the Windy City...

Barry and I left the girls in the hotel room with my mom to watch the game on TV, while we walked over to Solider Field. That's right. We walked. 2.5 miles. Each way. But, walking is a free way to burn off all those calories from the pizza we ate ;). We had great seats for the game (thanks to our neighbor). And, the Irish were awesome!

Happy 11th Anniversary to us...

This morning we checked out of our room after breakfast, and walked to Mass--such a beautiful, old cathedral! Then we had a delicious lunch at Giordano's...so good!!! What a fun weekend!
