Day in Chicago

I thought I'd put up the pictures of our Chicago trip while I'm nervously waiting for Michael Phelps to swim!! Went to Chicago for a day of shopping with my niece Tracie and daughter Sam. It was a really beautiful day and we had a good time! Here is a pic of the Chicago river. This is the brand new Trump tower being built right by the river. I think one of the winners from the "Apprentice" show was supposed to be over seeing this project. I also think I read somewhere that he was taken off the project, for whatever reason I don't know?
This is just a pic of a cluster of buildings. The air show is going on this weekend so the planes kept flying overhead. It was kinda creepy cuz they were just so loud!! Did'nt get any pics tho :(
And here is a pic of me and Sam by the subway.

Trip to Madison

Today I went to Madison with Samantha and Vanessa. Sam goes to school there so we were cleaning out and packing up her old apartment for her to get ready to move to a new one. It was a beautiful day! We had a nice lunch at Red Lobster, shopped and then packed and cleaned. And no arguments!! LOL I didn't once yell at Sam about her driving!! LOL She actually has become quite a confident driver in that crazy city. :) Got to go to my favorite store, Urban Outfitters, where I found a pretty scarf that I've been looking for. It's vintage type, floral and I just love it! The girls couldn't believe I paid what I did for it, but hey, a girl can splurge every now and then !! My picture taking leaves alot to be desired, this I know. :)
And, ofcourse, a shopping trip isn't complete without a new mag! If I come home with a new mag, its been a great day! LOL
