My Kind of Town

I have said it before, but I will say it again. Chicago is my kind of town. My Nenee has been taking me there since I was in 7th grade. Since then it has had a special place in my heart. Michigan Avenue for shopping, Navy Pier for the HUGE Ferris Wheel, boat tours on the lake and really just bummin' around doing nothing. Except for eating and people watching!

When, my bestie Elias and I were sophomores at Kansas State University My (our) Nenee took us both to Chicago for an adventure. The moment we landed Elias too was hooked. As soon as I went to college I knew that when I graduated I was to move to Chicago. For some reason I got cold feet (I am a Momma's girl) and decided to stay here in Kansas City. However, Elias forged on. As I gear up for another visit this Summer sometime I thought it was about time I shared a few pages from my last trip gallivanting around town with the other half of E Squared.


First, up was E Squared and The Bean at Millennium Park. The last few times I had been to Chicago we never made it to The Bean. So, this last time we finally did! Can you see me? Side note... the people watching there was fantastic!


On our way to somewhere we were waiting... and waiting... and waiting for the L. What do I do? Take out my camera of course. This pictures is my FAVORITE from the whole trip. Just whipped out the camera told Elias to stand in front of me while the train was passing. One snap of the shutter and perfection. The model isn't bad either!

This particular photograhy was post processed with the best--- Totally Rad Actions. The paper under the picture is a worn linen and the opacity of the photograph was brought down to about 50%-ish. In *real life* it looks worn and faded. I love it!


(Yes, I just noticed I forgot the s on days.) Now, this was really the highlight of the trip... pom fritz from Nordstrom Cafe. I think that we went there everyday I was there to partake it their goodness. Pom Fritz is just Nordstrom's fancy way of saying delish' french fries. Nordstrom is cool that way! I hope Elias doesn't kill me for posting these pics of him. Lucky for me... Elias didn't have a camera to shoot at me that day while I pigged out across the table.

*Most all of the elements and papers are Paislee Press Designs products and ideas were lifted from her CT team. Seriously, Paislee Press has the BEST digi-scrap products.*

So, Elias I can wait to forge through Chicago again... or maybe just through some Cold Stone on the couch while we catch up on our lives, gossip and memories! Hang in there and I'll see you soon!
