A Weekend Getaway with The Hubby

Every year during the Christmas season, Nick and I like to head up to Chicago to do a little shopping and dining.  I'm always shocked that Nick likes to go into the city to shop during the busiest shopping time of the year, especially since he hates shopping and especially hates shopping with me.  But he really had to be a trooper this year because since I am supposed to be watching how much weight I carry around, Nick had to actually shop with me a majority of the time just to carry my bags.  And he really was a trooper, he didn't even complain.  I was impressed.  So after all of that shopping, we enjoyed a wonderful dinner at Sullivan's Steakhouse.  It was delicious!!!! But unlike past years, we were back in our hotel room by 7:00 and fast asleep as soon as our movie that we purchased was over at 9:00.  I'm blaming it on all of that fresh/cold air that we battled all day, or at least that I what I am telling myself.  

On Sunday we headed to Oak Brook to do a little more shopping.  We had to pick up a few presents for some our nieces and nephews at Toys R Us, and then it was off to Buy Buy Baby to check out some double strollers.  I thought we were going to go with the Phil & Ted, but the sales lady really talked up the City Select double stroller, so I still have a little researching to do.  Jack is still a huge fan of riding in the stroller and he loves going for walks around town and to the park when the weather is nice, so I definitely feel that the double stroller is a must.  And since they are both a little pricey, I was pretty excited when my mother in law said that she was going to buy it for me for Christmas.....Thank You Marieda.
