On Saturday Max and I headed into the city (his first trip ever!) to check out the French Market at the Northwestern train station.
We had a change in plans and it was a total last minute decision. I am glad I was a bit flexible (normally I am not and have to plan and mentally prepare for events), and it worked out great!
I used to work directly across the street from the market and have mixed emotions about it - one, WHY wasnt it there when I was working in the city??? and two, SO glad it wasnt there, I'd be 500lbs and poor as heck!
The place is literally a market, though most vendors have food to serve. My favorite? Toss up between the crepes and the cheese vendors.
I found parking about a block away, that we had to walk under a set of el tracks. Max was literally screaming, 'CHOO CHOO!', every two minutes (or according to the train schedule!). Before we left, we hung out in the parking lot for a few extra minutes to see just a few more trains.
This is definitely a place we'll go back to. Maybe next time when we head into the city, we can stay longer, but for the first trip ever together - it was perfect! Made our Saturday!
