Adventures In Chicago

After finally waking Amanda, picking up Kara, and mapquesting the entire state, the three of us sped our way down 65 North to the fine city of Bolingbrook to utilize our Ikea gift cards. After purchasing several light fixtures, a canopy, towels, and sparkling pear juice, we finally made it to Milwaukee St. in order to visit several thrift stores and American Apparel. My extreme thrifting skillz led me straight to a pair of tan cowboy boots that I've been dreaming about since I was a young girl. We then proceeded to sit in traffic for about an hour trying to get to Elmhurst. Getting through the throngs of drunk Cubs fans was a hassle, but an adventure all the same. We finally got to the Holiday Inn and got to see our bestie Melly after a long wait of three. whole. days. Currently, we are drinking our sparkling pear juice and partying it up.
