How on Earth did I miss this thread for my trip last month? Just now seeing it - sure wish I'd seen it in advance!

Hmm.... crepes, you may just have to go back again!

Brahmama, Sorry I never got back to your Chicago link (very busy at work). Did it work out okay?

Hullo ComfyShoes,
I've been away from the boards due to House Guests but they are gone now and I'm trying to catch up.

We leave a week from today on Amtrak (Chicago,Washington DC & then New Orleans) so am frantically cutting and pasting!

The first night we're going to the Phillips and I was wondering if you did have a meal there & your opinion?

I'll probably have more questions so hope you check this now and then!

No, never been to Phillips although I might try it in October when I am there for work. Consider posting it on your Chicago thread. Also, if you post your Chicago thread link here, I will promise to check it occasionally (very very busy at work lately but easy enough to check Fodors occasionally). Posting it on your Chicago thread has a higher liklihood of native Chicagoans responding, I think.

I am sure you will love your trip :)

So is there a Phillips in Chicago as well?

I was looking at your final revised schedule and I notice you had it down for Day 2 (in Washington DC!)(Phillips Collection)

I noticed that you didn't mention it in your synopsis at the end, and was just wondering if you got there and if so, if you ate!

Sometimes I think we travel on our stomachs - I certainly plan to walk enough in all 3 cities to keep from gaining anymore weight.... And of course we're taking along:

So sorry! I thought you were referring to something in Chicago.

Actually this DC trip was a part work/vacation for me and I never went to Phillips which is why it didn't appear in my synopsis. My wife/kids did. I asked my wife and she said she liked it a lot. She said it has a fine collection. I will take her word for it. She didn't eat there so can't vouch for that.
