Our last day in Chicago! Prior to leaving Sunday we walked around and took a few more pictures. Let's face it, Emma takes THE best pictures. Ever. We walked to a little park area with a gazebo. She thought it was pretty cool. Her favorite part was trying to chase down a pigeon. She loves birds.

After we checked out and said goodbye to Chicago (always makes me sad to leave...no matter where it is), Emma decided to take a 2 hour nap in the car. It was wonderful. Until we got closer to home, and she had a slight meltdown. Maybe 2 shorter naps is the way to go. But still, we enjoyed it while it lasted. We stopped in Indianapolis to eat at PF Chang's. It was Emma's first time there, and we were a little worried about what exactly our picky eater would eat. But she got kids' sweet and sour chicken and loved it. She's crazy that way sometimes. She was so good in all the restaurants we went to. We stopped again about 40 miles later at the outlet mall. We didn't stay long, but I did find Emma some cheap shoes at Stride Rite and some jeans at the Carter's outlet. I love those places. I went in the Coach Outlet but didn't find anything. Shocking. Nick was trailing behind me closely, ready to pull me back if I saw a purse I liked. Just kidding...not really. After that, we came home. Like I said, around Cave City Emma started fussing. She was tired, hungry and bored by that point, so we couldn't really blame her.
All in all, we had a great time! It was a really fun first real family vacation. I hope that each year we can take at least a short trip to a cool city like that. Although I don't know if I'm willing to forgo my beach trips for it...I do love the beach and can't wait to take Emma for the first time in October.
