CHICAGO~

Loving the Hershey Store- I didn't think it would be a good idea for a pregnant gal to be eating all this chocolate! But I did enjoy some nummy Hot Cocoa!The Hotel Lobby
The famous Sears Tower
Dinner at the Grand Lux Cafe before the show
The Cadillac Palace Theatre
The Show!
Although it was a quick trip it was fun to get away. While I was packing I realized that all of my shoes are too small! Pregnancy truly changes a lot about yourself! I luckily just had some tennis shoes that could do the trick. Chicago actually was pretty cold so luckily I had packed a few warm things. At the last minute Hailey decided to join in on the fun. We only had one bed in our room and it was a pretty small room so needless to say sleep wasn't on the agenda for me! We basically shopped and ate, shopped some more, and then ate some more! Can't complain about that. I realized that the best time to go on a shopping trip is not when you are pregnant- but it was fun to just find some things for the baby boy. I think I walked more than I have in a long time and I was soooo tired! As for Dirty Dancing- let's just say if you love the movie you will love the Broadway. It was fabulous. I sat by my mom the first half and I think I was driving her crazy because I kept quoting the lines right before they would say them- it was pretty funny. I think that this show has been my favorite movie for as long as I can remember, thus I kept getting the chills!!! Hailey got a seat right on the 2nd row and I think I gave her a good enough guilt trip of how this was my favorite show, and I did plan the trip, etc. Well it worked! I spent the second half of the show right on the front row.
