Talk of yesterday



**pause the background music... scrolll down.



Brad + I recently went on a little urban "staycation" around Chicago. We used a gift certificate we received last year for Christmas. On Sunday afternoon, we walked to the nearby bus stop and went on an adventure. We walked 4-5 blocks at the other end and just like that... we arrived at the Inn.

It was lovely.

... we explored the nature museum & watched roach races as part of "Bugapoloza"... uh, gross. {we also visited the butterfly haven}
... went on a fall hike around Lincoln Park and North Pond {heron sighting}
... had a lovely Italian dinner {gluten-free menu options!}
... tried some raw cheesecake {also wheat-free}
... walked around several Chicago neighborhoods
... relaxed in the city that we both love

Sounds like a nice "local getaway". I'm sure it was much needed after being sick and all cooped up in the house.
