Chicago Weekend Summarized with Photos

Yeah, so since I don't really do 4am-ers (5am my time) anymore, I am recuperating from my very fun weekend in Chicago. It has been five years since my study abroad program ended in Florence, Italy and my study abroad friends and I decided to plan a reunion. It was an action-packed, fun-filled weekend! We definitely felt older because I don't know how many times I heard, "I really don't go out like this anymore." Times have changes since we were 20 and 21 in Firenze, living it up! But that still doesn't mean we don't know how to have a good time...it just takes longer to recuperate. I have to admit being at work today was pretty rough, I was totally exhausted. Anyway, after five years apart, friends flew in from Seattle, Boston, NY, and Philly all to meet up for the much needed reunion. Documented below are our evenings out, a great Italian dinner, an architecture boat tour, and Wrigleyville. I hope you enjoy the photos, possibly more to come...

I am sure Bridget said, "I don't really do this anymore" after she put the pitcher down.
Bridget and Tricia - we decided a photo needed to be taken in front of the "currency exchange" business

Love this cloud!

The Merchandise building - so large it has its own zip code!


I like the shiny ones

I like the reflective buildings

"Corn cob" architect, who favored round designs, designed this building

He also designed these, I think they almost look like honeycombs
