Windy City Weekend

Last weekend we went to Chicago.
It felt so good to be in another city and around family
it was also nice to get inspired.
The husband and I both left with a renewed sense of creativity.

We went to Intuit: The Center for Intuitive and Outsider Art,
The National Museum of Mexican Art , and The Garfield Park Conseravatory
and meandered through different neighborhoods, popping into different shops.
We found a few wine shops that were inspiring, a vintage store that made my
dreams come true, and a bookstore that was an overwhelming maze.

We drank cocktails that were artisanally prepared in a kitchen, ate
the best Spanish tapas that we'e ever had, gorged on hot dogs topped
with foie gras, consumed some real Chicago deep dish, and had a
4 course meal prepared for us by Peter and Chelsie.

We started with Beef Carpaccio

















Then had homemade pasta with tomato sauce

















Roasted Salmon

















and a flourless chocolate cake, topped with candles for
the birthday girl.




















It was an awesome weekend, we're already thinking about our next
trip back <3
