A Quick Weekend Getaway


I was in Schaumburg, Illinois this weekend for another one of the girl's trips I go on. It was my mom, sister, and aunt. It was my mom's birthday a few weeks ago and the one thing she wanted was a trip with us. 

Well Saturday we all met in Schaumburg and spent the whole day shopping in the Woodfield Mall. It is actually a huge mall; its three levels. The store selection is pretty good too. We spent the whole day there, 6 hours. None of us bought too much, but it was nice to look around. All of the Christmas stuff was out. It kind of put us in the Christmas spirit, plus is was freezing out.

We stayed at the Hyatt Place. It was a very nice hotel. When you walk in its decorated in earthy tones and decorations. One thing I had never seen before was express check in, so we were able to just check in ourselves which was nice. The room was decent size. There was two parts to it. A bedroom part and another place with a couch and desk where you could just relax and talk. I didn't look around the hotel too much since we didn't get there until kind of late, but I do know they have a pool somewhere there. Our trip was short but fun, and I even got an early start on my Christmas shopping.
