For Mother's Day, all I wanted was a picnic downtown with my loves. We packed the double stroller full of necessities and hopped on the Rock Island yesterday morning, headed for city. We got off at LaSalle Street Station and walked to Millennium Park. Unfortunately, the Great Lawn was roped off, so we couldn't sit on the green to eat (they wanted to protect the grass from all the heavy foot traffic of the day.) We were able to get a perfect table under the sun though, right in front of the "bean". We milled about the park and before we knew it, both babies were passed out! So John and I got to enjoy a nice peaceful stroll along the lakefront. The lake looked like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket. You get that effect when there isn't a cloud in the sky!
We paused for a bit on the Museum Campus so baby boy could eat--we even got a few great, sweet pictures of him. We headed back towards the train and by the time we sat down in our seats, we were all exhausted! A good tired, of course :) Both kids, especially Lola, were very well behaved on the train.
A perfect Mother's Day.
