One of the goals during this Chicago visit was to eat and drink at places we hadn't tried before. Giordano's and tea at The Langham aside, we made it a point to try new places. You see, as familiar as we are with downtown Chicago and a couple of the suburbs, my crazy need for familiarity usually ...
Chicago Wardrobe
Dressing for Chicago winter weather... That was going to be the title of this post. It would have been, too, if it weren't for the fact that during this entire trip, Chicago Winter decided to turn into Chicago Spring.
We arrived Friday evening, after a week of temperatures in the low teens, to a ...
Tea at the Langham
One of the reasons I love, so much, our annual April trip to Chicago is that we vacation separately. This particular weekend each Spring is an annual gathering for Bryan and a few of his best friends- I usually just tag along for the ride. The guy stays in a hotel with his buddies, I either stay ...
The Best Burger in Chicago
Every time we travel to the Windy City, we make sure that the first stop is Giordano's, for deep dish the way it should be and- for me, at least- a big glass of Pinot Noir. It's almost inevitable that we don't stop at Portillo's for an Italian beef sandwich at some point, and hit Yolk for crepes and ...
Christmas in Cleveland
As odd as it was being away from my parents over the holiday, I have to admit, I had a great Christmas!
I've always bugged Bryan about what he looked like when he was younger. I've never had the chance to see photos of him when he was a kid, but while reading on Monday night, I spotted a photo ...
My Kind of Town
I'm so lucky to be heading to Chicago for the next several days! I grew up in the South and Louisville was always my go-to big city. I've travelled to New York, and fallen in love with the grid work of the city, the yellow cabs, the theater district and the shopping, but no place feels like home ...
Asheville Royalty
I mentioned before that I've always been obsessed with Biltmore Estates. The first time I decided I wanted to visit this crazy huge home, I was a freshman in college. Despite planning to head that direction for Spring Break one year, the trip fell through, life got in the way, and I never quite ...
Early April Travels
My parents and I have very different views on what constitutes a vacation. I prefer a city, with skylines, nightlife and so much shopping you have to make multiple trips back to the hotel to drop off your packages. However, if a trip is on my parents dime, and it's the first getaway they've had in a ...
