at the mall and actually went to a make-up class on Saturday. We left with lots of new makeup and a few people had extra eyelashes! Wowzers we looked HOT!
Saturday morning. We had a great experience and it was so fun to spend some time in the Celestial room with my friends.
Saturday night we went to 
It was awesome! This was the 2nd time I have seen it and I think I liked it a tad bit better this time. Both times it was wonderful. We stayed at the famous 
Drake Hotel. It had the most comfortable pillows and towels of any hotel ever! But we had a few problems so I wouldn't recommend it -and for the price of the room we could have our own 1,000,000 thread count towels. :) It was fun to stay there, but I am very glad we got a big discount because of the nasty hair and toenail we found on the pull-out bed.
We went to bed during the early hours of the morning and did lots and lots of shopping. We ate at PF Changs and Cheesecake Factory and some other yummy places. There were 9 of us and we left 27 kids behind with our hubby's! What wonderful men they are to do this for us, we all needed some time away and had a blast just playing. I somehow lost my voice during the trip and on Sunday could only whisper- horrible! But everyone else probably liked not having to hear me talk. I finally am getting it back two days later. Monday morning when I talked to Alyssa she kept telling me to quit talking like that- you sound like a little girl. When I told her I lost my voice she said when are you leaving to go get it, Heavenly Father probably has it. I don't know how I survived 3 days with no Alyssa comments!
I think this is a great tradition- anyone up for next year? Let's do New York City!!

I got the shivvies from that toenail and hair in the bed--what in the Sam Hill? You'd better have been comped! What a good idea to go to the temple with friends--I sadly never made it to the Chicago temple while in I.C.
Oh and I've watched that video of Banana Pants about 100 times and did some hard core chuckling...
Sounds like you guys had a blast! I want to go back to Chicago and have some time to shop! Take me someday, now you know where the good stuff is! Sorry about your voice. Alyssa cracks us up.
I'm so jealous. You go on so many trips, and me, well none! That's so great that you have friends like that that you can do that with.
HOW FUN!!! Very Jealous that I wasn't able to go, but I'm glad you had a great time. So was Robilyn the one that found the toenail and hair? :) Glad you got a discount at the Drake after finding that! Don't you love M.A.C.! And WICKED....So jealous! Isn't it great! I'm really am happy you were able to have such a fabulous "bring on the 30's" trip!
I'm totally up for NYC next year. Or maybe a cruise to ring in my big 30!
Miss You!
I am so glad that you had so much fun. Jealous indeed!
Sounds like so much fun!
Looks and sounds like so much fun! JEALOUS!!!!
I don't think I could do Chicago in the cold. But nevertheless it sounds like you had a blast! I just can't believe you could get 9 friends to actually go. We have a difficult time getting 4 to go to S.F. overnight. Love ya
Looks like you guys had tons of fun! A weekend away from kids always helps rejuvinate the body, spirit and especially the mind!
