It sounds like you are adding to the family which is the true meaning of joy. Someone new to love. I've had tea at the Drake and it is nice. What a good idea to make lunch the main meal of the day. I didn't know Ralph Lauren had restaurants so I am out of the loop. I haven't been to State Street since Marshall Field's went out of business. Next spring I'll check out Bloomingdales.<br />GineneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702005723584006500.post-29718281913145452162015-02-03T19:52:37.199-06:002015-02-03T19:52:37.199-06:00Hi Jane,

Great place to stay, great food and fun. Yep we are getting more snow as I type this. Just what we need a few more inches on top of the 19 from Saturday and Sunday.

Sur la table, Lauren's restaurant and the Drake hotel to listen to music.

It was a work function because I'd never have been able to afford a $500 plus a night room. At least you had decent weather on Friday. Now we have to wait for the big thaw.

His restaurant looks elegant and classy, just as one would expect. I love Sur La Table! Such a cool store with so much kitchen stuff to look at and drool over. What brand of saute pan did you end up getting? I have nice Cuisinart pots and pans but my favorite is my Le Creuset pan. Good thing I won it in a blog giveaway because I doubt if I could afford one! ;-) Hope your eye dr. appointment goes well. I go next week.

But I loved all the stores on Michigan Ave in the Miracle Mile - great restaurants. I love Rosebuds on Rush. I was so happy when Feline's came to Chicago and I love that store in Boston.<br />Your lunch and tea time sounds like so much fun.<br />Yes, pots and pans can get very expensive. Love the Alclad one but only have two when they were on special.<br />I know you are getting excited about the baby. A little girl - how special.
