today takes us back to september 2009.

hc and i {dating for almost a year in this pic} decided one day to do a totally tourista thing: go to navy pier! we actually had a grand ‘ol time! we drove down to evanston and from there, we rode our bikes from evanston to chicago. as we were cruising down the lake, we figured since navy pier was the closest attraction, why not swing by there since we had nothing better to do.

we walked the pier, enjoyed the scenery, ate food, reveled in the people watching, and took a lot of pictures {of course!}. we had a swell time walking along the pier with all the tourists and being touristas ourselves! it was a lovely day of riding and a wonderful day spent exploring around chicago {my favorite city, besides new york! that’s my other love}.

sometimes ya gotta step back, slow down, and look at the same old scenery and find something new and amazing in it. we tend to forget or take for granted all the wonderful offerings of this awesome city we live in…get out this weekend and enjoy an activity or something that is very chicago!!!

happy friday y’all!!!

xoxo
