Chicago trip

Work duties called me away from thanksgiving weekend early but luckily for me my awesome mom agreed to go with me so I didn't have to leave the girls for so long. 

So we packed up my Equinox which I realize might be getting too small for family trips. But we made it work. 

Arrived at the hotel and no bigger rooms available, even though I selected and confirmed an upgrade. Oh well. At least we got a room with a view. First night we just unpacked and settled in. 

After a long first day of work, we packed up and headed to the Lincoln Park Zoo to see the Christmas lights. Great to get out a little and the lights were beautiful.

Next morning and after work took Greta swimming. She loved it! Next time need to remember her life jacket. 

The next few days were a but of a blur. I got lots of exercise walking back and forth 4 times a day to either nurse or pump. Still managed to bring home over 60 ounces.

Wednesday about noon we packed up and hit the road. One stop for a late lunch and shopping at our favorite Cracker Barrel. It was smooth sailing until Ann Arbor but we made it home about 6 pm. Unpacked, 4 loads of laundry, bathed the girls, and did a couple hours of work. 

Just for the record my mom is amazing. She Mom kept the girls entertained all day. Got them to nap, eat, play, and went on adventures and got Greta some exercise everyday... All within the confines of a hotel. So grateful to have her!! Love you mom!
