I got to spend last week in Chicago for a work conference. The beauty of these work conferences? We only spent about maybe 8 hours in meetings over 4 days. And I was in one of my favorite cities. That means lots of free time, and that makes this girl very.happy.
I got to go on runs along the lake with this view...
We went out to eat the goodness that is Giordano's pizza (which I found out will SHIP TO YOUR HOUSE frozen for you to cook. This may be a problem...)
Late night walks along the river...
Dad and I went and checked out Wrigley (which he's been to a few games. I hadn't even seen the ballpark...which is shocking considering how many times I've been to Chicago), shopped...a lot, and the best part? I got to see 2 of my college girlfriends, Emily & Mandii! We only had a couple hours over brunch and I got no pictures (sad face), but had the best time. I miss you girls!
It actually was a pretty awesome conference, but the high point was hearing Joe Gibbs, former 'Skins coach and current NASCAR team owner. He's such a legend that he could've been speaking Mandarin and I probably would've gone to hear him.
The other high point? Renting out the House of Blues, just for Cambridge. It was such a fun night of hearing an awesome band, dancing the night away, and just having a blast. We even got a VIP box so we didn't have to stand around with everyone...we had seats! wooo!
the amazing band

Can't wait to see you again soon Chicago! You really are a city that holds my heart:)
