Brisk Chicago Morning – A quick Day-Trip
We recently had the opportunity to spend a glorious morning in downtown Chicago! We had a whole morning to spend before meeting some friends, and we made the most of our time! We parked in a garage downtown and walked a bit on Michigan Avenue, “The Magnificent Mile!” We then decided to head to the River Walk. It took us a little time to find the “stroller friendly” entrance, but then we were soon on our way! Seeing the Skyscrapers up close, (Or the “ky-crapers”, as KC calls them) was awesome! Even as chilly and early as it was, there were people out walking their dogs, out for their morning…

Our Spontaneous Pet Store Adventure!
Sometimes some of the best adventures happen when you least expect them! Take this past weekend for example. We were out on an errands trip and my son started saying he wanted to go to the pet store! Now, I don’t really know where he got this idea, as I cannot remember the last time I have been to a pet store. Being in a spontaneous mood, we said, “Sure, let’s go!!” So we did! And we had SOOO much fun! First thing we saw was cute little doggies being groomed! We had fun watching this doggie’s haircut. Then we saw ferrets! Ferrets, people. And I did not get a…
