Quick Trip For Spring Break

We decided on a quickie trip to Chicago with Gabi over her Spring Break.  Since we were watching Ruby (Chad/Amber's dog), we couldn't go anywhere too far.  We have never been to the Navy Pier so we decided to check that out. The indoor shopping was cool...things that were definitely interesting to Gabi...lots of jewelry and hair items.  She enjoyed it.  Gabi has had a hunger for some shrimp lately and we happened to stumble upon Bubba Gumps when we first got there around lunch time, so we had a light lunch and did some more shopping. 

Of course, the ferris wheel there was a MUST.  We walked the entire pier and we were quite surprised at how many people were there. 

We couldn't go to Chicago and NOT stop in to see Trenton, so Naperville was our next stop.  This was probably a good idea..downtown Chicago was definitely getting more and more crowded.  Trenton got off from work at 1:30 pm so we headed there to get him.  He told us about a mall close to him that we could check out since Gabi was not quite done looking :)  Her one item on the list of wants was not to be found at Navy Pier...and this was a Hunger Games shirt.  The mall provided us nicely and we finished up around dinner time and headed for a favorite of ours...The Cheesecake Factory.  YUM!!!  Had a nice dinner and visit with Trenton, dropped him back off at the dorms and headed out.  A quick trip but most definitely, nice to get away.   

Brought home a cheesecake and a Lou Malnati's Pizza for the week <3 Definitely missing both boys this year at Easter...never want them to forget the true meaning and how important it is.  Happy Good Friday.  Rejoicing in the fact that we are loved enough for Jesus to give His life.  We are loved.  So very much.
