I spent the majority of the past week in Chicago for work (and some play). I had never been there before and was so amazed by how pretty the city is – the river and the lake! My friend Kelly and I visited the Bean, hung out a bit in Millennium Park (prettiest gardens) and took the architecture river boat tour (I think Kelly was just in for the tan, but she was a good sport), which was pretty amazing. I love architecture and design and couldn’t believe a) how many skyscrapers there are in this city (who works in all of these?) and b) how many different architecture styles of skyscrapers there are – makes for a pretty awesome skyline. We dined on the river and took in some fun nightlife (hello sceney hotel rooftop bars) and even had a run in with one of my favorite tv actors – Matt from Friday Night Lights! Tomorrow comes pictures of our Sunday Funday in Wicker Park.
Where is your favorite place to visit and hang out in Chicago?
Girl, I was just there… we just missed each other! Chicago reminded me a lot of Seattle…. city on the water + so clean… did you get that feel? Miss you! x
@Alicia – ahh! just missed each other! saw your pics – loved them! xx
you captured some great snapshots of the city. love seeing some of my favorite bloggers make pit stops in my adopted-hometown. if your looking for an awesome, out of the way place you have to make it up to andersonville/uptown area, and to one my favorite places, hopleaf.
