Headed North

Chicago Trip - Day 4

Today was our last day with G-Ma and G-Dad before heading north to visit with my family. During Caiden's nap, Rusti and I made a quick trip over to an amazing children's resale shop called Once Upon a Child. I kept exclaiming over and over how much I wished we had such a great place near where we live!! The place was huge, well organized and had just tons of stuff! I found Caiden's Halloween costume, some new shirts, two jackets and toys to keep at Grandma M's house. I would've bought tons more had I the means to cart it all home!

While I worked on getting packed up, Caiden got in some extra outside time with his grandparents.

We got the car packed up, said our goodbyes and hit the road to Huntley. I have to tell you, renting a car is one of the best things I could've done. It was so convenient to have and really made such a huge difference on this trip. I would've had a much more difficult time getting around without it!

Caiden and I really enjoyed our time with B's folks. I just love watching them with Caiden and seeing how much they adore him. It was also really nice to spend some solo time with them - something I don't get to do nearly often enough. I cannot wait until we are living in IL again!
