A trip to the Windy City

My Mom grew up in Chicago and she promised Olivia that when she turned 4, that she would take her on a trip to Chicago... I made them take me along too. :) We had a great time, including travel days we were gone 4 days. I took very few pictures, because well, Olivia is 4... and 4 year olds sometimes have "moods". And sometimes when they are in those "moods" they don't want to take pictures... like most of the trip. :) As much as she had her 4 year old moments, she was a joy. It was so much fun to see her experience "the big city". She loved all of the buildings, the people, and mostly the hotel. There was no comparison to her love of the hotel. She still remembers where we stayed- Spring Hill Suites.
