Rosebud - *YES* - Where they feed *The Mob*!!! I love their food - and you're right, they do have some of *THE BEST* Italian food around!!
And driving around Chicago isn't so bad. Just leave *plenty* of time to spare, take a co-pilot with you, don't yell, don't use any universally reconized rude hand gestures, stay off of your cell phone (it's illegal to drive while using a hand-held one in Chicago, BTW), and watch out for peds because they jaywalk unless there is a cop. Also expect to pay to park *everywhere.*
A "Rosebud" night for Chicagoland Farmgirls sounds like *FUN*...doesn't it!  ~ K

Thanks for the suggestion of Rosebud, that'll be on the top of our options list.
Does anyone have any suggestions of places to go dancing? Somewhere that's not too expensive, I know that'll be hard there but...lol We're looking for things to do on Friday night and I know most of us like to dance so that's something I'd like to have some info about if possible.

I'm so excited, we're heading out in just a couple of days! My sister and I are heading up to our the farm, my niece is staying there with our dad while we're gone-she's so excited about that, and we'll head to the train station Thursday morning with our mom. The other ladies are coming in late Thursday night because they've got to work on Thursday. Yay! It's almost here!

We had the most amazing trip to Chicago! We walked and walked and walked and walked some more...lol I would strongly suggest that anyone going to Chicago take advantage of the Chicago Greeter program, the woman we had was so knowledgable and friendly that I will be sure to request one of her other tours when we go back. Also, if you're going to the Chicago area before November 31st be sure to check out Niki in the Garden at the Garfield Park Conservatory...such great sculptures in with the great garden atmosphere of the conservatory. We didn't do any shopping for ourselves, had to hit the American Girl store to get some things for my niece ;) Such great architecture and the people were so friendly/helpful. I can't wait to go back!
Thank you all again for the great advice and tips, they sure helped us out on our trip! I'm hoping to post pictures on my blog soon, we got some fun ones at the conservatory that I'm sure you ladies will enjoy :)
