There’s a bus at 9:12 coming so I wake… Continue reading Day 4: My last day in Chicago
Day 3: Art, Fields, and Views!
Nowadays I don’t get as many steps in as I’d like to and given that I walked nearly 9 miles yesterday, my body is feeling it. However, it was blissful to be able to somewhat sleep in (until 8am) after such a long day. Today wasn’t as packed full of things to do as yesterday,… Continue reading Day 3: Art, Fields, and Views!
Day 2: Bean There, Done That
After about 5 hours of sleep, I was up and at ‘em getting ready to take on downtown Chicago!

Once we woke up this morning, we were on our way to the Georgia Aquarium - after stopping at Dunkin of course.

Day 3: Welcome to My Crib
Our original plan was to leave earlier in the morning to head into Newport to make sure we had enough time to do whatever we wanted to do. However, with a king size bed and a nice cold, dark room, it was extremely hard to get up this morning. Knowing that the last two days… Continue reading Day 3: Welcome to My Crib
