I was lucky enough to sneak in a trip to Chicago to see most of my college friends. We had been communicating in March and hoped to get a trip on the calendar and somehow, it worked. We stayed in the West Loop neighborhood and all arrived by noon on Friday morning. We met at the hotel for a quick bite to eat before going out for a Lake Michigan boat ride with captain Jill. The clouds parted for just long enough. What a treat to experience the city from that perspective. We made our way back to the hotel for conversation and a glass of wine while we dressed for dinner.
We shopped Saturday morning until we were rained out (literally stuck in the basement of Anthropology during a tornado warning). Becky and I raced back to the hotel in the absolute pouring rain. We dried off and warmed up and made our way to the Spanish Baths called Aire, what an incredible experience. We bathed in 9 different pools including hot stones, cold plunges, and the most incredible atmosphere, we used their facilities and showered and went to happy hour on Michigan Avenue before a glass of wine and visit at Bloomies,. We wandered and shopped and had the best time and then went for a late dinner followed by a rooftop glass of wine.
Chicago is so fun to do with our very own local who knows all of the hotspots and makes all of our reservations. Cheers to Jill.
I retuned early on Sunday morning with the fullest heart. I just love each of those girls so much and am grateful we all prioritize each other enough to make time and space to get together. Until next time. xoxxox
