Shopping in Chicago - The Lego Store

My Son and I tagged along on a business trip with the Husband. We headed off to the Lego store. Jack 4 1/2 was in Lego shock. He didn't know what or where to look. He ended up playing at the Lego table where thousands of other little hands have been.

My Husband tried to head him off at the pass but failed. So we just let him play. Trying to scope out where we could find some hand sanitizer (which we left in the car).

Fun, fun stuff! They had a area where you could get a large plastic cup to fill with different Lego pieces in every color shape and size, kind of a buy by the pound thing. Jack had fun filling his cup with stairs, flowers, wheels, tree branches pieces he somehow knew he would need someday.

The Lego store is for Boys like the American Girl store is for Girls. We left with two very large bags of Lego's, so that's what a million pieces to get sucked up by the vacuum.

Then it was off to Giradelli's for Chocolate and Ice Cream ;) I picked up some ground chocolate! I am so excited to try it. It's one of their original items. You can use it in baking, hot chocolate, coffee the list is endless ;)

Jack finally fell asleep in the stroller, so I popped into some clothing stores and grabbed a pair of dark boot cut jeans and a gray wool jacket for fall. I enjoyed the attention from the Sales gals willing to help the Mom with the sleeping child. Life is good ;)
