My sister and I started a new tradition this past year to celebrate our birthday’s as they’re only a day apart! We decided we would go somewhere to celebrate and have an experience verse buying each other gifts. This year we chose to spend a long weekend in Chicago and it did not disappoint! It was my sister’s first time in the Windy City and we had a blast. Of course we also had to squeeze in a few portrait sessions while we were there because the city has such gorgeous backdrops. To see more from our trip, be sure to follow me on Instagram!

A visit to Chicago is not complete without riding the ferris wheel at Navy Pier!

When I travel, I always plan my trip around where I want to eat! I know I’m not alone in this, right? This is mainly due to the fact that I love good food, but also because I eat mostly vegan (I do still eat eggs and honey) and gluten free, and if I don’t do some leg work beforehand, it can be hard to find places where I can order more than the side salad! I read wonderful things about Lyfe kitchen and it did not disappoint!

We loved walking around the Lincoln Park Zoo even though a lot of the animals weren’t out!

We also saw the Sox play! I would have much rather seen the Cubs, but they weren’t in town! You win some, you lose some! ;) Regardless, we had fun! Until next time, Chicago!
