this past week i visited chicago. part business part play. i took a certification exam for the child life council and attended a three day conference that they hold every year. i learned so much! i was able to stay a couple of extra days to soak up the city, and i am so glad i did, because its awesome!! i had a great tour guide (regina, a very good friend from west palm, that is familiar with the city) so i saw a bunch of places that you would not find on your average tourist trip.
i did of course indulge in pizza, on more than one occasion.
we ate at this cool taco place called big star in bucktown. if you're ever in the chicago area, you should check it out! great food. fun atmosphere.
this street was a gem. how cute are these homes?
on the last day of my trip the weather was gorgeous! i happily spent the day in lincoln park.
michigan ave.
water towers
bucktown.
quite possibly the best french toast i've ever had. i wanted to finish all 4 pieces but i was afraid the button on my jeans would shoot across the restaurant.
view of downtown from the john hancock building. 94 stories high. eek!
my wonderful view from the hotel room :)
Your pictures are great! How did you play with the lighting... I havent even uploaded mine yet because of the move... hopefully this weekend! xoxo
