We had a heck of a good time. I took the day off (Friday) and we headed downtown to the Fairmont Hotel. We had a suite with a lake view on the 27th floor.
After we checked in a little after noon we headed up Michigan Avenue for some lunch and shopping.
It was pretty darn cold and windy. Bought a bottle of wine at Trader Joe's and headed back to the Fairmont. After a while we headed for Macy's for dinner under the Christmas Tree in the Walnut Room. The Walnut Room opened in 1907. We've been eating under the tree since the early 70's.
It was a lot of fun. We had a great meal, sang Happy Birthday to Jill and I know she loved being with the whole family.
Went back to the Fairmont and ordered a milk bath from the bath sommelier. 
In the morning we ordered breakfast in the room. 
After a while we headed back over to Macy's to see the decorations and the windows.
Had lunch at a sushi place in our hotel and decided we'd better get going with the winter storm starting up. We should have left earlier - it took us over an hour and half to get home. The roads were awful. We only live 18 miles from downtown so that averages out to about 12 miles an hour.
All in all it was a great little get away birthday for Jill.
