Wedding Weekend Getaway: Part 3

On Sunday morning, we left St. Charles and stopped at the Chicago Premium Outlet mall, which we had heard about thanks to our friend, Nicole.  We shopped at just a few stores but guess who was the only person in the family to come away with something?  Justin and I both had one item in mind for ourselves but we didn't find anything we liked so instead we bought Lily some new clothes for her wardrobe.  Carter's was having a huge sale with lots of items 70% off and it's hard for me to resist a bargain!  Plus since most of her clothes are from garage sales or borrowed from some dear friend's of ours, it's fun to get her something new every once in awhile.
Once we left the mall, Lily fell asleep shortly after and didn't wake up until we stopped in Iowa City for a late lunch!  I'd say she thinks her new carseat is pretty comfy.  After lunch, Lily enjoyed her second carousel ride.  You might remember the first ride from last year.  She was a little more hesitant on this one since it was so much bigger - she had a death grip on my arm the whole time! :)
Before we left Iowa City, we decided she'd been in the car long enough, that she would likely get restless on the last stretch so we were proactive and switched her around to front-facing.  It was fun to catch all of her sweet little smiles as she read her books.
