This past weekend I took a quick road trip to Chicago with my friend Amanda. Its always fun for me to get out of the bubble and back into civilization.
One of the first things on my to-do list was a Starbucks run. Its holiday drink season so I got my first peppermint white mocha of the season. Usually, I get a regular coffee rather than a fancy drink but this is AMAZING. As a bonus, I still have a free drink coupon from my birthday so I saved $6!!
After coffee, we went to Millennium Park and took ridiculous pictures with the bean. If you are not familiar with this statue, it is a giant metal thing that was supposed to look like a cloud. I think it looks more like a kidney bean. Either way, its great to take funny photos with.

Then we hit up The Art Institute of Chicago where we saw the highlights, including American Gothic.
After some Chicago style pizza we went to Navy Pier and then did a little shopping before getting back on the train.

On our way back to the cities we stopping in Milwaukee. We said a quick hi to my sister and grabbed some more coffee. I wish our trip could have been longer but it was fun and totally worth the hours in the car :)
