American Girl Doll Store

Chicago is a 5 hour drive from us. Not too far for a day trip. The weather was great, and Tyler had just returned from a trip so we opted to just make it a one-day thing. After looking carefully at all the choices, Ava chose Saige, the "doll of the year." Preying upon special occasions and parents wanting to spoil their children was a horse drawn carriage outside the store. Tyler and I have never done it, so we did. It was fun! (Until I started breaking out into hives at dinner because I'm allergic to horses) Then we went to get some Chinese food at P.F. Chang's per Ava's request. Here's Ava and Saige! One super happy girl!
