Week end Shopping!!!
Ok Mom and I left for Chicago Friday afternoon. We had a good trip up to Bollingbrook and we stay at the Springhill suites. It is in the middle of our shopping trips. We got up to our room and ordered a Deep dish pizza because if you are in Chicago you need to eat one. We just relaxed and went to bed a little late.
We woke up and stopped at Starbucks and got coffee and a scone. We then headed to downtown Chicago. We had a good drive in and parked in a nice parking deck not too far from Watertower Place. We went to the American Girl Doll store and got things for my Neices. we then headed to the Ugg store and mom picked out some new boots. I also got a new pair of boots. They are part of my Christmas. It rained on us and such we left downtown and headed back to Bollingbrook. We dropped off things at the hotel and then we went to the outdoor mall there and looked at the Coach store and to Lane Bryant and to Barnes and Noble. We had dinner at Teds they serve Bison burgers and steaks which they were very good. Came back to the Hotel and we went to sleep.
On Sunday we stopped at Starbucks again and the wind was blowing and it was snowing. The roads were good and did not have too many issues. We got to the Woodfield Mall and went shopping. We left the mall about 4 and the wind was blowing pretty hard and we started the drive home. The roads were good up to Joliett and then it started to drift in spots. We were diverted off of the interstate at exit 233 for a 10 car pile up and we stopped at the only gas station that was there and filled up the Suburban. We then hit Rt 66 and drove to Dwight and got back on the interstate. We saw many cars off in the ditch and we even saw a 5 car accident. 55 was a big mess. We then got on to 74 and it was nicer saw a few cars in the ditch but they looked like they had been there a while. once we hit Morton 74 sucked it was like they did not know how to plow and that was like that all the way into Peoria. We Made it home safe and sound.
It was a nice relaxing time. I cannot wait to do it again.
