cubs game - chicago!

rocking my glasses because... well no luggage = no contacts

One of the main events on our Chicago schedule was a cubs game.  Pretty sure it has been a dream of Matt's to check out Wrigley Field, so despite the not-so-great weather forecast, off to field we went!  We took the red line train which was fun and allowed us to see some more of the city, then headed into the park to watch batting practice (yay!) and score Nisey a hat.  The first 4-5 innings were so enjoyable (weather-wise) and our nice neighbors beside us bought us some Chicago Dogs for the whole experience (side note: there were multiple people who bought us things on this trip.  Complete strangers just wanting us to enjoy our first trip to Chicago.  Seriously - the nicest people ever live up there!).  Around inning 5 things got cold... real cold.  And truthfully we didn't have all of our warm layers because we were still waiting on our luggage (it got lost - how fun!).  But we stuck it out as long as we could and enjoyed some yummy hot chocolate.  And bonus - the Cubs won! After that we headed back to the hotel for some lazy time, gym time and shopping time (me!).  Then off to dinner!  Our next trip up to Chicago will definitely be in the summer so we can see the ivy on the fence at Wrigley Field :)

best breakfast ever!

As I mentioned last week, Matt and I took a little babymoon up to Chicago a few weeks ago!  Chicago has always been a place on our bucket list and a place that neither of us had been to... until now!  We absolutely loved it.  We are already planning our next trip back.  One of our favorite spots was a breakfast place we found right off of Michigan Ave - Wild Berry. It was cute, quaint and absolutely delicious!  I got a decaf White Chocolate Raspberry Latte and I still have dreams about it.  Along with my buckwheat and strawberry pancakes... and my feta and spinach omelet.  I ate a lot!  Anyway, if you're up that way you must eat here!  You won't be disappointed..

Bicentennial Park and Farmer's Market, Nashville Part 1

While visiting Nashville, we decided to spend an afternoon walking over to Bicentennial Park and Farmer's Market.  We had lunch and frolicked, so thankful for the amazing weather!  And yall, I fell in love.  I loved the open area where folk picnicked, caught some rays and walked.  And the farmer's market was so cute!  And delicious looking!  I love a good farmer's market ya know? Too bad I carried on my luggage and couldn't exactly bring back a bunch of tomato.  Oh well, maybe next time..
