I just returned from a Mother/Daughter trip to Chicago. We always do our traditional things when we visit the city.
We stay at The Palmer House in the south loop. Here is daughter in front of the tree...
The beautiful lobby. We love to sit here, talk, read, snack, people watch. So relaxing!
We do tea at The Drake. Here is daughter and the tree in the lobby of The Drake...
Centerpiece at Palm Court, where tea is served...
Here we are...
Love to shop and browse at Marshall Fields on State. I cannot call it Macy's...
Fields all decked out for the holidays...
And inside...
Oops, I guess we are back at tea at The Drake. Here is the yummy food! Notice the little swan on the top tier!
Back at Fields, we always enjoy lunch at The Walnut Room. Here are the trees this year...

ReplyDeleteWe did not take our camera into Field's and the Walnut Room the second day while we were down there and so I had to cut and "borrow" shots from Google!
This looks fantastic, all of it.

We may have to plan an random, path crossing next year!!!

What fun mother/daughter time! We went to a wedding in Chicago in November, but didn't get to the Drake. One day I'm going back there for tea!! Happy New Year's!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you had such a great
ReplyDeletetrip to Chicago with you daughter. I live just outside Chicago and find I don't travel in as much as I used to. Your right, it will always be Marshall Fields. The pictures are so nice, and will provide you both with memories for years. Aren't the teas at the Drake fab.u.lous. Thanks so much for sharing over at Sunday's Best.
Oh...that looks like so much fun! When I was little we would go visit my Grandmother who lived in Highland Park. We'd go into Chicago and shop at Marshall Field's and have lunch in the restaurant up stairs...I do not remember the name of it. It must have been the Walnut room. I remember loving it as a child. Thanks for bringing back those memories.
