A few weeks ago my family and I went on a mini-vacation to American Girl Place Chicago!!! It was SO much fun! We also saw one of the exclusive showing of Kit Kittredge:An American Girl! I had such a Great time! Here are some pictures of our trip: (Captions for pictures underneath picture.)
Here I am with my sister Hope in front of the American Girl place building. (I am on the left, Hope on the right)
Here we are in front of one of the display windows in the front of the building.

They also had "A peek into the past" historical windows:

Then after dinner we got a poster to take home and some other Kit movie goodies too! We left after the dinner and went back to our hotel. It was Such a Wonderful day! :)
Here is the Poster and other Movie goodies! (We didn't get shoes, I had to put them there to hold down the poster.) We also got a Kit movie program, but I didn't take a picture of it
Here are the things I got at American Girl Place:
I got Kit's Floral-print dress for Kit.
Kit's Nightie for Kit.
American Girl Place Pjs for any of my dolls, but Elizabeth likes them.
I got rectangle glasses for any of my dolls, Mia likes them though.
I got American Girl place Hair things for my dolls. (Some hair bands are missing in the bottom because I used some.)
And I couldn't forget Molly she enjoyed having her hair done with my new AG hair things above. Also, she Really likes the pretend Flowers we got with our desserts at the cafe.
I had such a Wonderful Great time! I hope you enjoyed the pictures! Oh, I have one last Picture!
Kit Really enjoyed Her movie!!! :)

Merci beaucoup pour vos aimables paroles:) je prévois de couvrir ce sujet un peu à l'avenir. Le bonheur est, après tout, ce que nous cherchons à savoir si nous cherchons à changer notre carrière ou de puiser dans les vraies passions ou de trouver notre chemin dans la vie réelle.

That looks so cool Liz! I can't wait to go to the AG place in Chicago. I am going this month! I am having a bit of trouble deciding what to get.... I have enough money for a doll for myself, Kit for my sister and about 5-10 outfits. (I have been saving for a LONG time!) :)
What doll should I get for myself? This will be my fourth doll and probably my last, so it's important I make the right decision. I am thinking of:
-Kanani
- MyAG (looks like your doll Abbey, Liz) named Zion-Rose or Daisy
-Rebecca
And do you Liz, (or anyone else :) have any favorite clothing/accessory suggestions?
IF YOU COULD HELP ME, I'D BE REALLY GRATEFUL :) :D
Posted by: Madeleine | March 06, 2011 at 02:13 PM
My girl cousin from Louisiana wants to visit that place too. She loves to collect magazines and when she saw on the mag about American Girl Place Chicago, she definitely wants to be there.
