Birthday trip to Chicago

This is 45....

Celebrated my birthday by going downtown for the day.... We stumbled upon a new favorite place, "Goddess and the Baker", but in my former life I know that I've been to another location of theirs (in Bucktown).  Abby opted for the huge slice of Rainbow cake for breakfast.  We all found our favorites and some sweet extras, and promised to make it back to this place again real soon!

 

After breakfast, we headed to the Museum of Science and Industry for their Pixar exhibit.  Oh wow, was this awesome!  I loved it for the Disney details, but also for great ideas in my classroom.  It was so great to learn about how the math and innovation comes to life in making Pixar movies.

After this exhibit, we headed back to Naperville to meet up with others for a late lunch and one more dance recital for the girls.. followed by dinner with Andy and family at Catch 35.  All in all, it was a great birthday!
