Best View From The Women's Bathroom

We made it to Chicago! Beautiful city - and so glad that I've seen a little more of it than just the airport. Unfortunately we could only stay in the city for a night so we didn't get to experience it at full. Upon arrival we let ourselves into J.C.'s house - went for a short run and then headed out on the bus to meet her downtown. P.S. love public transport. No, I'm serious - it's so nice not having to worry about driving into town and finding a parking spot. So we showed up at 4th Presbyterian, a gorgeous church- and got to see where Emma's childhood friend, J.C. works.

While waiting for J.C. to get off work we went to the top of the Hancock building to see the best view of the city and drink the most expensive drinks we have had since being back - or ever. Though they were fantastic. Once taking the last gulp we decided we'd search for a "cheaper" bar - and we succeeded in finding $11 pitchers of Sam Adams.

Added bonus to the trip into Chicago we got to see Preston! Another childhood friend. Shout out to Preston and Jonathan - the French Baker :) Phil got to know him quite well while the three of us reminisced and caught up on any hometown gossip we have. It was great to see them both!

There is something really fun about seeing hometown friends in their "new" places. Kind of strange really.

It wasn't a late night - we went back to J.C's and caught up a little more, talked about re-entry into the states and what not, and had nice conversation with Jake the cat. Thanks JC's for everything,including letting us clean out your fridge - and it was great to hang out with you.
