…for a MUCH needed getaway to — Chicago! It was my birthday present and I’m so excited about it. My better half knows me so well…in my world, nothing is a better present than an experience. It seems time is the most precious commodity we have, so I’ll take a weekend getaway with my favorite person in the world over stuff any day of the week!


{Chicago City Map by SummitRidge}

Neither of us has ever been to Chicago, and so we are continuing our quest to see the world little by little. Of course, Chicago was on my list because of Frank Lloyd Wright and the famous architecture. I am also excited to check out Navy Pier and try deep dish pizza.

have you ever been? any recommendations?

So, needless to say, I will be off for a few days, but don’t worry – I have some guest posts lined up! See you soon!

    Have a wonderful time in Chicago! I didn’t get to see all that much when I was there but I loved millennium park and the Frank Gehry architecture!
    It’s a really interesting city! I hope you two have fun exploring it. :)
