Our last day in Chicago we met up with my parents who live several hours away. We shared many laughs and got to enjoy the city a little bit longer until we had to catch our flight home. I like this simple bridge shot because it shows all the contrasting angles and textures of the city.
I got to enjoy a relaxing manicure with my mother-in-law at the famous Bliss Spa in the W Hotel overlooking the lake. I absolutely love the modern feel of the salon and you are instantly greeted with that trademark lemon sage scent they are so famous for. We were both excited to try their new grapefruit + aloe body butter.
The color I chose was Essie's "Better Together." It came out nicely and is still holding strong!
Anyone who knows me well knows that I have an intense love of tea. I was happily surprised that Chicago seemed almost more tea than coffee oriented, which I have never experienced in a big city before! My husband and I visited Argo Tea and I was excited to see the awesome selection of loose leaf tea and brewing accessories.
Ian had the Green Tea Ginger Twist. I tried a few sips and thought it was delicious and would be great if trying to ward off a cold or tummy ache. I went with the Smootea which was a blend of green tea and strawberries. I wish I could have discovered this place sooner so I could have tried a few more of their drinks. However, I got lots of ideas of fun ways to spice up my tea drinks!
No trip to Chicago would be complete without a trip to get some deep dish pizza. We went to Pequods which my father in law highly recommended. I can see why! This was easily the best pizza I have had- every bite was more amazing than the last.
On our second day, we enjoyed a delicious brunch at a restaurant called: Tweet: Let's Eat! If the name is any indication, the restaurant is totally cute and has great attention to detail. It was absolutely delicious and all the ingredients were super fresh and seasonal!
Everyone got a little dish of fresh fruit before their meal. I had already eaten the raspberries and blackberries before I took the picture.... I couldn't wait!
I enjoyed the breakfast burrito with eggs, ham, cheese, fresh salsa and creme fraiche. It was very tasty and fresh with lots of protein- it stuck with me the entire day!
