A Morning in the City

All it takes is a quick trip to the city to remind yourself why you love it so much!  Matt and I decided to take Mya to the city this morning to enjoy the beautiful day. I think the both of us are feeling like our clock is ticking and soon our easy family of 3 will be a hectic family of 4! 

Matt told me this morning he was thinking a fun trip would be to do "what he used to do when he was little."  He wanted to take trip down memory lane, otherwise known as Taylor Street.  For anyone who knows Matt, knows that he is a foody! He particularly enjoys a devine Italian Beef sandwich!  He wanted to take us to The ORIGINAL Al's Beef and then across the street for the famous Mario's Italian Ice! 

We got to the city around 10:30 and decided to go to Millenium Park, Monroe Harbor, and Buckingham Fountain.  Thankfully, Mya is back into the riding in her stroller stage!  She wised up and figured out it was much easier than walking everywhere!  At one point, I was about to kick her out and have Matt push me!  37 weeks pregnant and exploring the city could lead to a premature birth of this little guy....but the exercise was good and I survived!

EATING ITALIAN BEEF AT THE ORIGINAL AL's BEEF???
Nope.  Can you believe it was closed!?! A beautiful Sunday afternoon and it was closed! BUMMER!  We found another Taylor St. fav, Patio.  We still enjoyed our Italian beef sandwiches and hotdogs!
