Last weekend was awesome! I got to the Windy City about 9:00 a.m. and Bree was still in bed. It didn't take this Chicago Girl long to get ready though. After a quick stop at Dunkin' Donuts to get Bree a coffee we went to Eddie Bauer. Bree bought me a backpack almost like the one she has to take to PARIS! I am so excited!!! It is really happening! I, Kelli Anne, am going to PARIS!!!!!!!! Pinch me!!! The backpack is very roomy and I can fit tons in it. Thank you, Bree, for my gift!!!
Then we went to Loehmann's and it was "the jackpot" for Bree. She found lots of adorable Free People things and she even got Free People PANTIES! We shopped at Loehmann's and Bree bought her stuff and then we headed to State Street Bread Company for lunch. We got our usual table and had a major BOT over soup and salad. (I splurged on a chocolate brownie too)
After lunch, we headed to Macy's and each of us got Estee Lauder make up. Then we went to Old Navy and Bree got a bikini and I got 3 shirts and a pair of long shorts. It was snowing outside (so pretty!) and we said how great it felt to be buying summer/spring clothes and have it snowing out. It put some spring in our step!
Then home by 4 to meet up with John. We had dinner at Wildfire. It was so delicious! We had a long dinner and Bree and I got dessert too. I had the chocolate cream pie and Bree had a chocolate brownie sundae. We walked home and it was a beautiful evening. Bree and John are such cool, interesting people. I never get tired of talking to them.
We stayed up til 2:00 a.m. talking and laughing and then I was up at 7:30. I went over to Fox & Obel for coffee and Bree met up with me about an hour later. We visited over coffee and then headed back to the apartment where Kathryn met us for lunch. (Can you believe this eating? I'll have gained 10# by the end of the weekend!!!)
We went to D4 for lunch. It was very good. Then Kathryn left and John went back to the apartment. Bree and I hopped on the El and headed for Lincoln Park. We walked for blocks and blocks, arm in arm, just talking, laughing, going in and out of the shops, and stopping for ice cream at Cold Stone. Bree got an adorable purse at one of the boutiques. At 4:00 it was time for me to head back to Indiana and get back on a diet after all the splurging. It is always sad to say good-bye to Bree.........I love her. But I will see her again soon.
It was a great weekend. Thank you, Bree and John, for all the fun and food and happiness.
Here is a pick of me and Bree.
