: photos of chicago :

hi!
so, i have been sitting at my computer for hours doing behind-the-scenes work!
oh my goodness! i need some chocolate and a nice run around the lake!


here are a few of my favorite photos from our time in chicago : 

so let me tell you ; we camped an hour out from the city + a conference all day + a 7.5 hour car ride [one way!] = not a lot of time to sightsee.
[and no, we didnt go to a sox game]
[sad] [but, we will be back ;)]

: on our way to chicago! :
