Remember When??? AG place Chicago

Aw, look at me. I think I was 11? this was the first time I REALLY went to an american girl place. I had briefly been in the AG place in NY when I was 9, but wasn't in to AG back then. So anyway, this day back when, I was absolutely the most hyper person on the planet. I remember when my mum and I were walking there, I would start shaking and giggling whenever I saw the big red American Girl bags, and at one point I remember passing another girl with a kit doll, and I waved my kit's hand at her kit. the girl looked at me like I was mental ;) ah, the good ole days!
I bought a doll tee shirt, some doll sweat pants, a book, an AGP accessories set, and Kit's reporter outfit! I thought that was so much! I spent around $80, and it was all my own money! we also got to eat in the cafe, and some of it was AMAZING, and some of it was... yeuch. but it was SO MUCH FUN :D
after our awesome day, we went and had some deep dish pizza. the line was really long, so we sat in line for a while. there was a girl who was maybe... 8 or something? who kept on sneaking glances in my bag. so I finally asked her, 'do you like american girl dolls?' and she said yes, she had 7. I just about died, I thought that was so many!

have you ever been to an american girl place? what did you do there?
