Chi Town

We had the best time bringing in the fall with a trip to Chicago for our dear friends, Dave and Maria's wedding. I know that you would expect Chicago to be a little cooler than the 97-100+ weather have been having here, but it was relatively the same... So don't let my scarves fool you! It was HOT! 

Craig and I definitely needed a few days to refresh. We spent the majority of the time n the quaint town of Lake Forest, IL. We rented a little compact car....nicer than anything we drive, and drove into the city every day. We walked for hours each day, trying to soak in everything we could in this awesome city. It was incredibly diverse with the beach on Lake Michigan, countless museums, so much history, pizza and hotdogs, and art at every turn (the bean!!). 

We got to spend time with very special and encouraging people in our lives, and even made new friends. We also hung out around Wrigleyville with my old neighbor and lifetime friend, Chris Oladipo!!
