The Perfect Day


Once we settled into our room at the Herrington, we drove over to Niche, the restaurant we had reservations at that evening. It’s a Contemporary American restaurant, very similar to MK, in the city (a personal fave!) and the food was phenomenal. Check it out at http://www.nichegeneva.com/.
The next day, after we checked out of our room (after way too short a stay!!), we went back to the main street area to do a little “window shopping”. We found this great resale shop, mostly children’s clothes and toys called Good Cents Children. The store is 4500 square feet, and we came away with some great bargains, including a gently used Little People castle with a singing drawbridge for $12 (you know who’s gonna love that) and a Mulberry St. reversible jumper and pants set for $10 (you know I’M gonna love that)! There were also quite a bit of smocked dresses, for any of you gals who can’t find more traditional styles in the city. It’s not any further than Wheaton to drive to this store. Definitely would be worth the gas!!After a very relaxing morning, we took in a movie and had an early dinner at Uncle Julio’s before we headed back into the city. Charlie had an amazing time sleeping over at her friend Emilyn’s house, and the report is that she was on her best behavior. They giggled and played together beautifully! I will post pics of her visit when Ms. Kim emails those over to me!
