On Thursday of last week, I booked a flight. Sometimes, I feel like I’m losing my spontanious side, so booking the flight sent a rush of adrenaline through me! I’ve been promising Netter, my good friend from architecture school, that if I had the opportunity I would fly to see him. Well…..4 years have gone by and I never booked a flight, until Thursday.
So, I did it. I called him up, let me know that I had a weekend without a wedding or session and I flew to see him.
Upon arriving in “Chi-town” (which I feel SO cool saying now that I actually now what it is), I stepped off the plane feeling pretty silly in my boots. But BOY…as soon as my feet hit the snow, I was ready to kiss those rubber insulated boots of mine. It was officially 19 degrees out and every bit of cold.
I was seriously like a little kid, squeeling as the snow fell and running through the layers already fallen. Really, I am 25 and was throwing snowballs everywhere. The people who live there are so jaded by the snow…they probably thought I was crazy.
I even made a snow angel! Thank you, Netter, for still hanging out with me. 🙂 The only thing I wished was that Brad could have been there to share it with me. It truly was the perfect trip and I am SOOO happy I found my spontaneity…and the guts to book it and head out! 🙂 🙂 🙂
At this moment, I was probably the happiest person in Chicago…ehem: Chi-town.
Making Snow Angels
My good friend, Netter….who I absolutely cannot stop laughing around.
On the plane I chatted with the woman seated next to me (of course) and she told me I should go to the Sky Deck.
So, we did! Here I am 1,353 floors up…on the 103rd floor!
🙂 My favorite picture from the trip! 🙂
Let’s just be honest, if you’re hanging out with a photographer, there WILL be pictures.
Genuine Mexican food at Mi Tierra’s in Boystown.
The Bean in Millineum park was probably my favorite part of Chicago. Seriously, how cool is this thing?!
I LOOOVVEEE me some starbucks!
I took this on my last night there…and yes, I was sad to leave this beautiful city!
I once heard the saying that if you leave items on the list of “THINGS TO DO”…then you’ll be more inclined to go back. You don’t have to twist MY arm! I’m hoping to go back sometime when it’s warm. Maybe one day I’ll shoot a wedding there….
I love these pictures! I am so glad you got to go and share that adventure with your friend. Chicago is def on my list of places to visit and I cannot believe I haven’t been yet. Love you!
