The Windy City



WOW! What a great trip!

I love Chicago! There are so many wonderful people here that constantly ooh and ahh over my great looks. Mommy and daddy are so proud as they wheel me around in the Sophiemobile up and down Michigan Ave. I enjoy being out and about so much that I yell at daddy everytime he stops in a store for too long. Just a minute outside with the noise of the traffic and the smell of the city and I instantly placated.

Getting here was easy. Mommy and daddy drove me out from Iowa in the Subaru and I slept the whole way- just one stop halfway across for a snack at Culver's Butter Burgers (a midwestern institution). We have a wonderful room at the Talbott Hotel: a quaint English-style botique hotel that daddy says feels just like London. We're right across the street from incredible shopping and relaxing sidewalk cafes.

We took lots of pictures of me shopping: at Sur La Table, Anthropologie, Wilams-Sonoma, Lush, etc. My favorite was Sephora- an amazing store with lots of lights and smells that fasciniated me and kept me wided-eyes and alert the entire time I was there.
Time to go home- I miss my sisters very much!

The pictures are wonderful and you and your mommy look fabulous in your complementary prints- perfect for Michigan Ave.
Another song to sing as your mommy and daddy wheel you around in the Sophiemobile:

Sophie's kind of town, Chicago is
My mommy and daddys kind of town, Chicago is
Our kind of people too
People who smile at you

And each time we roam, Chicago is
Calling us home, Chicago is
Why we just grin like a clown
Its mommy, daddy and Sophie's kind of town.
