A Chicago Summer

It has been a while, and in that little while many things have happened, including a move to Chicago for the summer. I know some think we're crazy, and maybe we are, but its our little adventure, and we love it!

Here are some pics of where we find ourselves! For those that are familiar with the Chicago area, we are living on Southport in Lakeview, just a few blocks from Wrigley Field... that's for all you baseball fans.. be jealous!
Here is a view of our local Starbucks {less than a block from our condo}!

This is the view from our El stop, we have a Noodles & Co, our grocery, along with Anthropology all along this block!

Walking to breakfast, because we wouldn't want to hassel with loosing our parking spot, and besides its only .5 miles... then we will enjoy breakfast because the kids sat so well after their long walk. IMG_6938

We made it to breakfast! We rarely dine-out, because its a little chaotic......

  2. I think it is so awesome that you guys moved to Chicago for the summer! Way to be adventurous! And I've always thought it would be nice to live in Chicago if I could leave for the winter, and you're kind of doing that :)
