Living in the Midwest has made me really appreciate the seasons. I've never looked forward to summer as much as I do during January-March in Chicago! Sometimes when I'm working out I like to daydream about summer. Here are a few things I love about summer in Chicago!
- Street Festivals - a big ol' party in the street with tons of young people, good music and funnel cakes. YUM!
- Sitting at a sidewalk cafe enjoying dinner and drinks with my husband and watching all of the people go by.
- Walking by the Lake and feeling the sun hug my shoulders. Yes it REALLY does feel like that after a long, cold winter!
- Beach volleyball and drinks at Castaways, our very own beach bar! Yes we do have a beach in Chicago and it is SO FUN!!
- Evening walks through the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, where I lived prior to getting married. All of the houses are old brownstones with iron gates, the streets are lined with big shady trees and there are fireflies! I haven't seen them since I was a kid!
I love having something to look forward to.
Ahhhhh summer! I can't wait for you to come!
