::: chicago, chicago-- that toddling town...

between the train ride.
the amazing views.
the food. (oh! the food!)
the coffee & tea.
the shopping.
the midnight carriage ride.
the boat tour.
the pre-summer heat.
& the amazing friends.
i could write a post 1,000 pages long about my weekend.
but i won't.

i'll let the pictures do the talking...

    I was hoping you had posted photos of your trip! And you did! These are so amazing & I do LOVE that first photo. It's so tranquil & calm. I think sometimes photos tell the best story indeed. You did good & I'm so glad you had a wonderful weekend. You and your friends look so cute & happy together. I bet it was good to see them.

    Gorgeous pics. I so want to visit Chicago now - my friend in San Fran has been suggesting a meet-up there (I'm in Glasgow so it's kind of half way I guess!). x
