On November 16th, Kelly and I left in the early morning to Bryan, OH to a small Amtrak station to catch our train to Chicago. The purpose of our trip was to meet with a perinatal hospice in the area called The Haven Network. Kelly had met with them once before but it was my first time to visit.
Our train was scheduled to leave at 7:05 am and we got there a little bit before thanks to Kelly’s fast driving! We thought we weren’t going to make it. Turns out, the train ended up being like 15 minutes late so we would have been ok! Of course, Evanee came with me and it would be her first train ride!
The train ride was great! The seats were comfortable and there was plenty of space. It was good traveling!! I know for sure if I ever need to travel a long distance I am going by train as it’s much better than taking a car IMO. We did take a little nap during the ride. Evanee enjoyed it since she didn’t have to be strapped in her car seat.
We ate breakfast in the dining car and we had french toast and it was SO GOOD. Some of the best french toast I’ve ever had.
After we arrived in Chicago we took a taxi to the shopping area. It was both mine and Evanee’s first taxi ride!
In the shopping area we went to the Hershey’s store (where we ate supper yummy chocolate PB cupcakes), the Ghirardelli, store, and then the Disney store. I ordered some princess dresses for Kyndra and Lainey. We also stopped by a Walgreens and I picked up an umbrella stroller to help tote Evanee and all our stuff around. It did help!
We then strolled over to Gino’s to eat lunch and where we were going to meet up with my BLM friend Mary (Lukas’ mom). I had never met Mary before IRL so I was excited to meet her. Lainey slept through about half of the lunch, which was good! She was tired! It was my first time eating Chicago style pizza and it was interesting and yummy!
After lunch we took the Metra train to Geneva where Kelly’s dad picked us up and took us back to his house. We ate this really yummy local BBQ place. Very good!!! I definitely was ready to crash once it came time for bed. I was so tired!

Love the pictures! Evanee is the sweetest little girl! I'm so jealous!!..... forgive me Lord. lol :O)
Love that Evanee! That train ride WAS awesome!! :) Oh...and I keep forgetting that I still have your stroller. In the wee hours of the morning in our groggy oblivion, I forgot to hand that to Anthony and left it in the back of my car! If you have time when you're up on the 15th, maybe I can get it to you then.
All the pictures of Evanee are so cute, she looked like she had a ball! Sometime I WILL make it to meet some of the lovely women who have walked our journey with me! Looks like a great trip and lots of fun food!
