It has been ages since I've posted on this blog, so I decided to pick it up again, mostly because I had the above fun photos to share from a recent trip to Chicago. I've been looking forward to visiting the "windy city" ever since the company I work for was acquired by a Co. based in one of the neighbouring cities. I had the weekend to go exploring on my own and I have to say, it was a lot of fun.
Highlights from this trip were: eating deep dish pizza at
Lou Malnati's (it was so good, I felt a little sick after); taking in a Sox game (even in the freezing rain - the beer kept me warm, sort of); going on a green architecture tour with the
Chicago Architecture Foundation (I highly recommend this as you get to see the Mayor's green roof - not visible to the average tourist); seeing countless Impressionist and Modern works of art at the
Chicago Art Institute (this was recommended to me and I'm so glad for it!); and meeting a very cool local designer at her store -
Workshop.
Here are all of the photos I have uploaded from Chicago:
This was a trip that I took on my own and I was glad to have done it. It's a great feeling to know you're not afraid to travel when single. Yahoo!
Until next time, kate.
