In April, I had the chance to visit Lisle, IL, a suburb of Chicago. Nate had a meeting and at the last minute I decided to go with him, so I rearranged my schedule and packed my bags.
I have traveled with Nate in the past, but I have always just visited the library before we left and I would literally spend days in the hotel reading. Well, since I was so late in deciding to go, I only had one book in the house to pack for the trip, so I had to find something to fill my time.
I ended up adventuring out of the hotel, way crazy for me! Oh my goodness, what fun I had, I found a fabulous city
Naperville, Il, this town had a ton of boutique shops and restaurants. I literally spent hours just walking the strip over three different days and explored!
I had my eye lashes dyed (I didn't even know this was possible!!), got a full makeup make over, a massage and a manicure! There was also this fabulous dog boutique,
www.twobostons.com, so of course Simone and Maisy (Simone's best friend) got a new toy and a dog treat shaped like a squirrel!
On my last day, I decided to try something different, so I headed to the
Brookfield, Zoo. While this was a very nice zoo, it was not as fun to do alone! I mean who can I ask "is that animal breathing!?" when I am all alone. :)
I was very thankful for my time away and for being so brave to explore a new city, but I am glad to be back home!
There is no place like home!
Wishing you the best of everything!

| Welcome! |

| OK folks, for those of you who live in Ohio, when you see an animal laying like this, it is usually on the side of the road and it is dead. This is a Wombat, and per the sign at the display, they sleep like this!! This made me laugh! |

| Giraffe's are always one of my favorite exhibits! |
 |
| Cool and gross all at the same time! |
