Mom, Nicki and I went on our annual girls’ trip to Chicago this past weekend. As always we had a blast. I mean what could possibly be bad about a day with no kids? 🙂 With the weather absolutely gorgeous, we started with lunch at Harry Caray’s.
Since giving up most sugar drinks since March, this was a sugary day for me! It felt good.
Last year we relaxed on our lunch cruise. This year we decided to work on Mom’s bucket list. Item check off for this year: ride a Segway. I was a nervous wreck. I told our guide that I was scared, so he had me go first. Which made me more nervous to learn in front of everyone! I freaked out a little in the beginning. I almost freaked out too much and didn’t go…but Scott encouraged me to relax and stick with it. Nicki snuck in a little video of my first lesson. Of course, she didn’t get me riding around like a pro by the end. 🙂

I did finally get the hang of it and had a great tour. I’ll never do it again, but it was a great ‘once in a lifetime’ thing for me to do.
Once that was done, I was ready for a drink! So off to Margaritaville.
Then it was off for some shopping at Water Tower Place.
This sign was in the restaurant where we ate dinner. It was plastered on the back wall. It made me smile.
