It&#8217;s a Contemporary American restaurant, very similar to MK, in the city (a personal fave!) and the food was phenomenal. Check it out at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nichegeneva.com\/\">http:\/\/www.nichegeneva.com\/<\/a>. <br \/>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 &#8220;window shopping&#8221;. We found this great resale shop, mostly children&#8217;s clothes and toys called <strong>Good Cents Children<\/strong>. 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&#8217;s gonna love that) and a Mulberry St. reversible jumper and pants set for $10 (you know I&#8217;M gonna love that)! There were also quite a bit of smocked dresses, for any of you gals who can&#8217;t find more traditional styles in the city. It&#8217;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&#8217;s before we headed back into the city. Charlie had an amazing time sleeping over at her friend Emilyn&#8217;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!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once we settled into our room at the Herrington, we drove over to Niche, the restaurant we had reservations at that evening.
