Chicago Visit with the Halls....

This past weekend I joined some ladies in Brian's family for a girls weekend in Chicago! Here is the fun we had....

We started the weekend (while we waited for Christy to get in) by heading to the Chicago French Market...

Where we of course ordered crepes for breakfast! With Nutella :) YUM!

Heading out to shop Michigan Ave: Terri, Ashley, Christy, Cindy and I!

Taking a little break from shopping..

After a full day of shopping- we took a snack break to have some Garrett's Popcorn!

Yum! I was starving and couldn't resist! :)

Then headed to Gino's East for a little early dinner of Chicago style pizza!

As you can see..it was a successful day of shopping!

Friday night we went to see Billy Elliott!

Champagne before the show- it was great!

Christy & I...

Our night cap after the show..we headed to the Signature room at the top of the John Hancock Building.

Each table in the place has a great view-but the best view is from the lady's bathroom..where this was taken :)

Saturday morning we headed up to Lincoln Park to make purses at Lill Studio...

Waiting outside to make our purses..

It was SO fun! But hard to decide what purse to make, what fabric to pick, etc!

The creative juices where flowing...

All of us- happy with our new purses! Can't wait to get them :)

The we headed up the street for tapas at La Baba Reba meet Shannon for lunch!

Then we headed out for a big adventure! SEGWAYS!

Yes- Segway! It was so fun! And yes, we know we look like big dorks :) oh well!

Cindy and I pre-adventure! Little did we know what fun we had in store!

After our segway tour we walked over the Institute of Art & Millennium Park..to see the Bean!
(that's me taking a picture)

The group at the Bean...

I loved taking pictures of it..cool how the skyline reflects in it!

The Bean...

Then we headed over to walk around Navy Pier...

Saturday night we headed to Fogo de Chao..for an amazing meal! And celebrated Shannon's upcoming birthday!

Then we headed out for drinks...a martini bar & then a champagne bar!

What a fun night!

And even more fun weekend! Thanks ladies!!!
