Last Bit of Chicago
Can you guess where she is?
So much to think about; hard decisions to make.
In the end, it was Josefina's goat and Julie's bunny coming home with us. 
Can you guess what we ate? Y'all said pizza, right?
And then home . . . .

We were there 2 years ago while my husband had to be there on business. Did the same thing. I took my daughter to American Girl while my husband took the boys to Borders (or was it Barnes and Noble?) and then we met up for lunch and Giordino's :) We ordered ours no cheese-gasp! The waiter said "no cheese? that's like eating a burrito with no tortilla ;) All those awards by the front door and we said they were missing one, "Best No Cheese Pizza" hands down!
Anna,
Oh my! In that first picture, Daisy simply could NOT look any more like you!
Beautiful!

I LOVE American Girl, I have no girls (3 boys) but we still read the stories :) Kirsten is our favorite!
Ah yes....American Girl Place. In 2004 I took my two daughters to the one in New York City (but Chicago's is the original one, I believe). We had a LOT of fun, & they enjoyed shopping for a couple of things each. They'd worked so hard to save their money for this venture, it made it all the more special for them! Glad you had a good time. :o)

Isn't Chicago fun? For those of us who live in lower Michigan, it's a favorite destination...dolls, pizza, and all.
This isn't directly related to your trip - wonderful as it was! - but it dawned on me that you might like to see the blogs of this family. Dad and Mom raised 4 boys and then adopted Talitha as their daughter when Dad and Mom were approx. 50.

I've never been to the 'Windy City', but it looks like you all had a lovely time! Daisy's anticipation of what to select is precious. Thanks for sharing.
Oh, CHicago! Two daughters graduated from a school there, one is working there. And, a good friend worked in the American Girls store one year. So much to see and do in Chicago. Never went to an opera, though.
oh my. giordanos makes this former chicagoan sigh with vicarious culinary bliss. perfect choice for the end of a great trip. hope you saw "the bean", but if not, there's always next time, when you could go to an outdoor concert by the chicago philharmonic orchestra at millennium park. i love chicago!
We have a small American Girl store nearby. It's fun! I adored y'all's outfits during your trip.
love Chicago! Especially Founder's Week at Moody Bible College when I had my first Chicago style deeeeep dish cheeeeese pizza!
Glad you had a great time in Chicago...it's such a fun city!
Glad you enjoyed Chi-town...it's such a fun city!
Oh...I love American Girl. My 12 year old daughter still "plays" with her collection even though she is a little embarrassed to let her friends know. Most of them have moved on to more mature things, but I am loving it. I would love to keep her like this forever! So happy to have discovered your blog. Your photos are gorgeous and your writing beautiful! Happy Easter~
How delightful that your chosen destination had the proverbial "something for everyone"!
I wanted to drop by and let you know my daughter is giving away a American Girl outfit on her web-site...please drop by and enter in her give away:)
