and all that jazz::: chicago + the boys

After a 5 hour train ride on a car full of 37 girl scouts and 1 creepy stalker, I am home from a refreshing trip to Chicago with a few of my girlfriends. My friend Kellie and I stayed with our mutual friends, Erin and Kyle---and their twin boys (who are the most loving little gentlemen on EARTH!). Believe it or not, I had never been to Chicago before this weekend, and let me make it known that I LOVE IT! Being a NYC girl myself, it was refreshing to see a big city that was so clean, and that had momentum, but not insanity. And while I am a firm believer in the fact that the energy in NYC is is more than half its charm::: the laid back attitude of Chi-town has a place too. Its a place I could easily see myself living.....

Below, I've documented the long and short of it:::
