Our unforgettable Lake Como trip

As you might know, we went to Lake Como over the Bank Holiday weekend, for our friend's Scottish wedding. Its is so serene and beautiful there so I will just let the pictures speak for themselves.

My loves

A night out on the town with usual my crew; Sean and Bear - and then of course my gorgeous Mum (looking so trendy in her floral dress and denim jacket).

I really appreciate having her around, with her love, helpful Motherly advice and very useful tips for looking after Sean. I will be really sad to see her go back to Sweden tomorrow..

holiday snaps from Chicago

Here comes a slightly delayed post from our American trip a couple of weeks ago. Pictures are in no particular order:

The architechture is a mixture of old, very ornate, and ultra modern sky skrapers

My new pink top I picked up at one of the designer outlets

Chicago at night is spectacular. Here I am at Vertigo, on the top floor of our Hotel

Enjoying a cocktail on the roof terrace of the Trump Tower, Chicago

Having a quick pit stop in a really cool Hawaiian bar/restaurant

Stars and stripes

The weather turned glorious on our second day, with highes of 28 degrees. Guess if I was hot in my UGGS? lol

The back drop is the Chicago River and Lake Michigan

A tired Bear (after a late night), requesting a late check out at our hotel reception

Heading for the lift for yet another roof top bar

At the Penninsula Hotel

Trying to keep a happy face despite ache from very bloated stomach

Looking slightly disheveled

Soaking up the sun on a river boat

Out door dinner and champagne as the evenings were nice and warm

Downtown Chicago - "the Magnificent Mile"

Pre dinner bubbly served in an unusual champagne glass (looked like a test tube LOL)

Sipping on Martini in the area known as the " Viagra Triangle"

Crunchy crab at top pan - asian restaurant, Sunda

Coming home, a little merry, after a night out downtown.

Chicago's skylines are really beautiful

Bear, the day after the night before, in the breakfast lounge reading The Chicago Tribune

my choice of brekkie; eggs benedict with the Hollandaise sauce served on the side

Doing the "tourist thing" and seeing the sights

Bear sporting the really nice bargain Hilfiger blazer he bought there
