Windy City

Took a much needed girls trip to Chicago with three girlfriends this past weekend.  I really enjoyed myself.  Great food, great shopping, and great company in a truly magnificent city.  I have been to Chicago three times before, but none of those trips allowed for experiencing the city like this most recent visit.  We were there for three days and two nights and barely scratched the surface of what the city has to offer!

Here are some of my favorite pics...

Love these girls. I was blessed by the encouraging conversations, rest, and refreshing weather.  Can't wait until the next trip.
