TRAVELS: Chicago Part 3

On our last day we had a really nice day walking around downtown and even grabbed a drink and snack at the top of the John Hancock Center. Then we closed out the trip with the main purpose of the trip - going to the Coldplay concert, yay! I surprised Charlie with these tickets for Christmas so this date was about 8 months in the making! Oh yea and on our way out of town we got coffee at Ipsento. Their signature latte is made with coconut milk, local honey and cayenne pepper. It's so amazing it's not even funny. There nutella latte is also one of my top faves! Then after getting coffee we just had to grab a box of doughnuts from Glazed & Infused. I mean creme brulee and maple bacon? Perfect treat to bring back for our catsitters, the Fergusons.

One of the highlights of our trip was meeting  a great group of friends at Big Star for dinner, one of my all time favorite restaurants. They have awesome drinks and Margaritas plus an amazing small plate style a la carte Nom nom nom!









TRAVELS: Chicago Part 1



This post is pretty delayed, but I've been having some technical issues with Blogger where I can't resize all the images in my post (that's why they are small) that I am still trying to work through. Charlie took a very long weekend and road tripped to Chicago The other weekend. It was a super fun little trip. We stayed with our friends Eric and Simon - they are roommates, not partners. But we did have a dance party at Hydrate in Boystown :) We also stopped at WAY too many coffee shops it was almost embarrassing, but my hubby sort of lives for the stuff.
