Last Minute Getaway

Tim came home from church Thursday night, and said, "We need a night away!" So, we loaded the kids up Friday, and headed for Lincolnshire, IL.

Mallory found another baby to play with in the hotel room. Isn't it cute how they're holding hands? :-)

Isaiah looked so cute carrying around his own toy bag.

Friday night we had dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak House. We fed Isaiah McDonald's beforehand. We didn't want to order him a filet and risk him not eating it - haha. We both started with a tomato crab soup. It was quite tasty, with a bit of a kick to it. My main course was a petite filet mignon with grilled shrimp, and Tim has lamp chops. My side was mashed potatoes, and Tim ordered green beans. We shared our sides, which worked out really well. The special we ordered came with dessert - raspberry sorbet in a chocolate cup and sweet cream with berries. YUMMY!!!!
Before heading home on Saturday, we stopped at the Gurnee Mills Shopping Center. They have a Bass Pro Shop (see pictures below), and Isaiah was in need of new shoes.


Lunch at Chancery - a Wisconsin favorite of ours. Too bad there's not one in Appleton. :-(
What an excellent idea! The night away was tons of fun!

I am so glad you take the time to get away. It sounds like my brother has some pretty good ideas. Our next weekend away is when we see you for the Cardinal game in July. Can't wait to meet Mallory.
