Chicago!

We spent our Labor Day up in the windy city. It was SO fun! Seriously, when you can go to IKEA, Jamba Juice, and American Girl (for Emily, of course)...add in perfect blue skies and your family who you love...what could be better? We had a blast. IKEA was very chaotic, as usual, but we got a few things that will help make the most of the cabinet space in our new kitchen, curtains, etc. That place rocks! This morning we started out at THE best smoothie shop in the world...Jamba Juice. Nate gave Emily a sip of his and she drank almost a third of it. His had the energy boost, so she was ready to hit downtown by the time we got there. Our first stop downtown was the American Girl store. Emily has a Bitty Baby that her Grandma Lamb gave her for her birth present. We had fun looking at all of the accessories, making Emily's Christmas list. From there we walked up and down Michigan Ave. window shopping until it was lunch time. What's for lunch in Chicago? Pizza. After lunch we did some more walking just enjoying our day together. We've decided that when we're empty nesters, we're going to live in Chicago!
