chicago in 2012

welcome to my first installment of #tbt (or throw back thursday) i have yet to participate, but what a better place than my blog? i have all of these photos that haven't seen the internet. this year jordan and i have been wanting to go on some sort of trip, but the timing has been so difficult. we were thinking back on all the trips we went on last year. there were so many, from this one to chicago and we even went all the way to bermuda (i can't wait to share that one). i am a little bummed that we won't be as free this year (well, i will be... sorry, jordan) but, i can relive the trips we took last year on here. so, this will be fun. so, look forward to some blasts from the past on here on thursdays!
this one immediately come to mind when i begin thinking about how cold it is outside. we went on this trip in the middle of march and it was eighty degrees the entire time! it was maybe the best thing that has ever happened to us. people thought we were crazy when we planned this a couple months before hand. it doesn't seem like the best spring break destination, but we even got to go to the beach... in march... in chicago. awesome. so, come on spring, it's april already!

the first night we were there we went to the second city, a comedy club which was so much fun!

we were all about public transportation on this trip, i was so impressed by jordan and his ability to figure out the complicated maps so easily. if ever you are wanting to navigate a big city, he's the guy to call.
we went to the lincoln park zoo one day, which i definitely suggest to go if you're in chicago, it's free! so why not? that's what we thought. it was a lot of fun, plus you can see the best view of the city.

with the weather being so nice, we couldn't resist spending an afternoon enjoying the oak street beach. although we didn't think about entering the frigid lake michigan. but, i was just pinching myself as i soaked in the sun.
we couldn't pass up a visit to the leggo store! we might have spent a little too much time there building, that we had to unwillingly leave as they started closing. 
we couldn't leave without having lunch by the bean!
