our chicago road trip [in pictures]
St. Louis
First stop on our second road trip in two weeks. This time we drove with my family, heading to my grandpa’s wedding in Illinois.
We stayed the night downtown and our rooms had a great view of the arch. That evening, Matt and I got to go on a date 
We walked down to the arch and then had a fabulous dinner at Mosaic.

Chicago
Another place I’ve never been. These two weeks of road trips were chock full of places I’ve never been. So fun.
We parked the van and took the train, a nice, relaxing hour ride into Union Station.
It was Sunday and a game day, so the streets were pretty quiet. In a lot of ways, it was like we had the city to ourselves.
And it made shopping at H&M a tad bit easier

(amazing pizza)
(wonderful architecture)

(yes, it was drizzling most of the time, but it fit the vision of Chicago
I had in my mind)

Another fun road trip. Another batch of wonderful memories to savor for years to come.
And now we’re HOME
We’ve been to the Arch in St. Louis….it’s so beautiful! I was very early in my pregnancy with Tyler then so the ride up made me a little woozy. : ) Your pictures are pretty. I love that Matt doesn’t mind holding a paisley umbrella. You’ve got a good guy there! : )
That’s awesome, Chrissy! We didn’t get to go up because it was already closed – maybe next time. And, yes, I agree – I’ve got a great guy
