Isn't it hard to even remember what your life was like before she came along and made you a grandmother? Your other pretty daughter looks like hubby!! <br /><br />Do you know I have never ridden a train in my entire life? That looks like so much fun!<br /><br />God bless you and your family in 2014, Kris- xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-36618438017495938232013-12-30T20:45:11.619-06:002013-12-30T20:45:11.619-06:00What a beautiful day you had…I want to eat at Lawr...What a beautiful day you had…I want to eat at Lawry's the next time we are there..it looks like such a gorgeous place to be and eat!…Glad you all had a wonderful time in the city!!Shirley@Housepitality Designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09945881622303698087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-85607086011486079702013-12-30T15:50:02.633-06:002013-12-30T15:50:02.633-06:00Thanks for sharing with us this wonderful and fun ...Thanks for sharing with us this wonderful and fun tour.

It looks like a fun time too and with yummy food! I've only been to Chicago once, to see a White Sox game, so I really didn't get to see much of the city. We were visiting a friend in Crown Point, IN. Maybe we'll get back out your way one day - but when it's warmer! It's cold and rainy here today and I've already seen people wishing for spring on Face Book LOL! Personally, I wouldn't mind a nice, quiet weekend in a cabin with snow covered woods. Sounds good!

Today - not so nice! I love that beautiful hand carved staircase! We are not big city lovers but should make an effort to take the train in to see more things. We did that once with friends and then took the trolly around getting off and on to see the city. Also with family one Christmas to the Christmas tree thing. Our daughter and her husband took us to see Wicked. So many things to do and see there and we should make ourselves do it more often. Thanks for sharing all your fun!

We try to stay within a block or two of Michigan Avenue so that we can walk everywhere. Next time we're going to stay a few days longer to get to the Museum of Science and Industry. Last time we did the architectural boat tour on the river. <br />Kirby Carespodihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01950841302720270756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-5856226874065032782013-12-29T00:39:14.167-06:002013-12-29T00:39:14.167-06:00What great pictures and memories.

I stayed on Rush Street at the Lenox Hotel and have had dinner in Lawry's many times. Of course always had to have the pop corn. I walked up and down Michigan Avenue so many times. Love Gino's Pizza and Rose Bud Restaurant on Rush. I also love Houston's which was in the Lenox Hotel, but I guess that is all gone now. I hope I get back there someday.<br />I was there at least 2 to 3 times a year. <br />What a great family tradition to go into the city.<br />Have a Happy New Year.<br />MaryMary@mydogsmygardenandmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03265174897498950754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-29821377232797649922013-12-29T00:05:54.724-06:002013-12-29T00:05:54.724-06:00It is funny how your day brought back some good me...It is funny how your day brought back some good memories for me, just like your Christmas card did.<br /><br />Christmas 2005 was spent in downtown Chicago. Our son, JP, was getting married on December 28 in Valparaiso, Indiana. KC always acts as the family travel agent. She booked the 3 of us (JP was with his fiance's family) into the Wyndham just off Michigan Avenue for Christmas Eve and Christmas night. We walked down Michigan Avenue on Christmas Eve, but we could not get into any of the fancy restaurants without reservations. The day after Christmas KC and I hit Michigan Avenue to find her a dress for the wedding. She had ordered a dress from JCrew after trying it on in the store. When it arrived in the right color, it did not fit. We actually found a dress at Bloomingdales and had the rest of the morning to shop until we had to meet Steve at a famous pizza place where we had to wait 45 minutes after the pizza was ordered. On the way to the airport on the way home, KC insisted we go to Super Dawg. The hot dogs were great, but we almost missed our planes.<br /><br />I bet we walked past and viewed some of the same things your family viewed today.<br /><br />I loved looking at all the photos for your kids and Abby.<br /><br />Happy New YearArt and Sandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09070124859845536964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3145927977814106970.post-41077019099598834252013-12-28T23:32:46.451-06:002013-12-28T23:32:46.451-06:00Looks like a really fun family day.
