Oh, I know exactly what you mean!! It is hard living or touring a city with littles. I can't imagine doing it on a daily basis! We did live in Prague without a car and did public transport. It is a smaller city though. I am always exhausted after a long day in the city with the fam! It's always so much fun, but I love coming home to our quiet little community!Tina @ Girl-Meets-Globehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05674608922867213793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7195043435953444277.post-46829147201563585992015-01-10T19:07:31.968-08:002015-01-10T19:07:31.968-08:00I just came across your blog, and growing up in Ch...I just came across your blog, and growing up in Chicago ~ these photos warm my heart.

It's so much better to laugh and enjoy that than to be frustrated. I wish that would have been easier for me in Seattle. In NOLA though we got caught in an absolute downpour without an umbrella. We had carried one for the past two days with no rain... but there we were, running through the rain, hiding under awnings, luckily it wasn't too cold that night! :) I love these pictures, what a fantastic memory for you and your family. I took a trip to Chicago on the train with my grandma, aunts, mom, sister, and cousins (all girls). It was very fun. We got lost a few times, but the 14 year old me was thrilled to be somewhere, anywhere new. :) So happy for you!
