Hello, Chicago!

CHICAGO TRIP WITH THE GIRLS!!!

This past weekend, I went to Chicago with five of my college girlfriends. (Amanda, Ashely, Jenni, Laake, and Lauren) We had such a good time together!! Jenni rented a car and I met up with her in Columbus where she flew in from LA. We then traveled up to Cleveland, picked up Ashely and Lauren and spent the night at Lauren's house. The next morning, we traveled west to pick up Amanda who drove down down to Indiana from Michigan. Then we made the rest of the trip to Laake's apartment in Sycamore, about an hour west of Chicago. We had fun playing lots of cards and enjoying delicious desserts on Friday night. On Saturday morning, we made our trip into the city and explored all day. We went to Navy Pier, Millennium Park, and Michigan Ave. I think we took so many pictures that we didn't have time to do much else. :-) We had lunch at a cafe on the pier and dinner at Giordanos (best. pizza. ever!) Saturday night, we stayed at the Hyatt Regency downtown next to Navy Pier. (Priceline all the way. Getting a $250 room for $85? That's right!) Sunday we had to get up early to drop everyone back off along the way. All in all, it was an amazing weekend with some fabulous friends. Here are a few of my favorite pictures from the weekend.
