a white skirt after labor day and the bean.....

last friday

we jumped in the car and headed to the windy city for a long weekend.

 we did our best to look and act like silly tourists.

i wore a white skirt. he wore a black shirt. 

can you find us in the all the photos?

this photo looks a bit, ummm, well. you know. dirty. or something.

the love of my life wanted to take a photo. i said, "the camera is all yours." 

then i photo-bombed his picture.

"can you see me now," he asks while walking around me.

i answer, "not at all, ya goofball." click.

if you're ever in chicago and you've never been here, it's a must see. 

getting away for a few days was just what this body and head of mine needed. 

a form of therapy without question. surprisingly somehow, my feet don't hurt today. we left the car parked and walked everywhere. the weather had slivers of fall mixed into it, especially in the mornings and friendly people were everywhere. it was truly a mini-vacation.

if you've never been to chicago and want a recommendation on where to stay, 

we highly suggest  the conrad. {it used to be le meridian}

{we had a room issue at first, but they made up for it with a free breakfast and a room discount, which made the trip that much better}

it's on rush street, but the front of the hotel is basically on michigan avenue, giving you instant access to everything on and right off the magnificent mile.

well that's it for "the bean." 

next up...later this week, navy pier and street photography.

control your excitement. snort.
