Last week I went to the good ole midwest to visit my best friend, Ashley. {And yes, we met through blogging years ago!} I flew into Chicago before heading to Michigan where Ashley lives, so we could do a quick Chicago day filled with classic site seeing. What a beautiful city Chicago is! I was loving the old buildings, intricate architecture and all the good food {okay, and good shopping!}
We went to a delicious breakfast at the Hash House, walked to shopping on Michigan Avenue where we got some adorable clothes for Ashley's baby boy, then had lunch on Navy Pier. It was the most beautiful, sunny, crisp and clear day-- all the locals were telling us it was the first real day of Spring. We have some pretty great luck :) Here is a total picture overload from our Chicago Adventures!
See? We got so lucky with the perfect weather! (Still in the 50's, but hey, we'll take it!) How great are these pictures too?! The perk of your BFF being a photographer :)
Have you ever been to Chicago? Next week I'll show you more of our trip and time in Michigan.
Have a great weekend!
xoxo
You were in my city!!! I'm a Chicago girl, born and raised :) But, I'm from the 'burbs so I only visit the city once and a while...even though it's only about 18 miles from my house and on a clear day I can SEE the skyline :)
