Girls weekend in Chicago!!

Visa and I decided to go to Chicago for a weekend of good food, great shopping, and fantastic entertainment!  On Friday night we ate out with my fabulous brother and sister-in-law and some of Lovisa's college friends at The Carriage House.  Excellent southern style food and, hands down, the best, BEST corn bread ever made  (the six of us polished off three orders and then had to order another)!  For some dumb reason, I do not have a picture!  On Saturday, we did A LOT of shopping!  At one point, I called JT in a panic because I could not decide between three coats. So, I had to text him the photos and he made the call-just get all 3!  I love that man;))

Side story on the coat.  I grabbed my fancy black coat from back in my college days, but did not put it on.  When I got to Chicago, I put it on and thought, "Oh crap, I grabbed JT's coat!'  It was so big on me, it looked like I was wearing football shoulder pads and it wrapped all the way around to my back.  I am not sure how I ever thought that coat fit me!  Matt says things were bigger in the 90's.  Anyway, it was the big joke of the weekend, and I got three nice new coats!!!

Back to the timeline....Saturday night, Visa and I went out to a nice Italian restaurant, 312 Chicago.

 

After a huge dinner (where the waitress kept waiting on putting the next item of our food order in because she thought we could not possibly eat that much), we walk/ran (some of us barefoot-me, and some in high heels so high, I could not even walk!) 1/2 mile to our show, The Book of Mormon.  It was a great show, but if you are easily offended, do not go!

Two good looking chica's ready for a night out!

 Ready for a good time!

 After the show, Visa and I decided to grab a few bottles of wine and do a little fashion show in our room of our recent purchases!  I love this dress--It made my legs look a mile long!

 The 60's flight attendant!

HOT>>>

 Just how short can Visa get away with at work?  She will try and push it as far as she can, so she can wear this!

 A coat that Lovisa practically stole!  It was a $200 coat, accidentally marked for $65.

 I bought a lot more, but it was more basic pieces, so not quite so fun to show!  After the fashion show, we had to make new lists of what we were going to buy tomorrow to finish off the new outfits.  On Sunday, we shopped most of the day to "finish" off our outfits and then bought a whole lot more.  I will have to make sure JT does not see the credit card statement:)

After a full day of shopping, it off for sushi with Matt, Katie and Jackie and then I had to head to the airport.  I really had a great time just being a girl!
