Babymoon, a success!

Before Adam and I embarked on this last trip before baby arrival we had a few goals for using our time. They included: connecting with one another outside of our craziness at home, baby/maternity shopping, seeing and experiencing the city, time with friends, good food and RESTING. 

I am pleased to say we accomplished them all!

     

Lunch at the Grand Lux Cafe. I ordered a berry fizz and it was delicious. Brunch hit the spot for both of us. I had eggs and toast and Adam got strawberry french toast. YUM!

For our "night out" we went to a steak house for dinner and the to the play To Master the Art. It was the story of Julia Child and her husband in France. Adam had found the tickets and we had a great time. 

Outside the Shedd Aquarium. We both hadn't been there since we were kids so it was fun to explore together and see all the animals. 

One of the highlights was meeting friends to go out on the town. They planned and took us to the Signature Room in the John Hancock building and then to Lux Bar for a great dinner. This pic is from the 96th floor overlooking Chicago. It was BEAUTIFUL and we couldn't have gotten a better table. THANKS K and C for a great time!!

We did fit in some shopping as well. Adam was a real trooper and I purchased some maternity clothes and a hospital bag. A HOSPITAL BAG! It is crazy to think that I will be packing that soon in anticipation of our little one's arrival in about 8 weeks. 

As we wave goodbye to Chicago it seems like an appropriate ending to a chapter. Not to the end of adventures, as we spent a lot of time on our trip talking about adventures as a family of 3 and our (hopeful) plans for next year. :)

But an end to the Giroux family of 2. 

It's been a great 7.5 years, I can't wait to see what the next one brings!
