i have a mass of photos to share here on the blog, as (obviously) you can see i have been very behind in posting. but, that just means i've been wonderfully busy with life, school, friends, and family. so, i can't complain :) here is a little bit of what my march and april has looked like...
^^yes, please. keep these sunsets comin', chicago.^^
^^ a spontaneous trip downtown with a friend to escape dining hall food :) sometimes another meal from the dining halls is just not an option for your taste buds, so you hit up downtown chicago & splurge on sushi from hot woks cool sushi ;) ^^
^^finally...finally! i got to see my precious nuggets over easter break after months apart & i could not have been happier. nothing can brighten your day like the bubbly presence of a toddler...and the presence of four is even better :)^^
^^how i missed you, big brother.^^
^^how lucky i am to have been able to see so many lovely faces in such a short span of time. the weekend after my easter in st. louis, my best friend kristin took the train down to chicago! and, of course, our first pit stop was to the chicago diner (meat free since '83...score!) to grab a hearty lunch. you can't leave there without trying one of their acclaimed vegan milkshakes...trust me, you won't regret it.^^
^^wicker park, here we come...^^
^^oh myopic books, every time i visit i truly think i have found heaven on earth.^^
^^if you're looking for a funky treat while exploring wicker park, hit up glazed and infused doughnuts.^^
^^such spectacular city views from the top of navy pier's ferris wheel.^^
^^oak street beach! the beautiful & warm spring weather has got me in the best mood, but seeing everyone out & about--walking, biking, roller-blading, beach lounging, etc.--makes the atmosphere so much better. this city is bursting with activity & it's hard to not let it inspire you...^^
^^a quick stop at argo tea for some pomegranate yumminess. and! lunch at toast. seriously, yum. kristin & i stumbled upon this lovely little cafe (off of the fullerton red line stop) and loved it. veggie chili & the caprese sandwich with mixed greens really hit the spot.^^
^^a bit more oak street beach fun.^^
^^just because i got the coolest new leggings & i love them.^^
^^loyola beach day! plus, a little picnic on the pier. it's so much fun to see everyone out enjoying the beautiful weather.^^
i hope life has been filled with family, friends, and fun. bring on the warmth, spring :)
xoxo,
mary grace.
