It’s been a busy few days!! It started with the the dying of the river to a neon green color for St. Patrick’s Day and ended tonight with The Black Keys concert at the United Center. There was a several trips to Lincoln Park and the Lakefront in between!!
Chicago on St. Patrick;s Day was INSANE!! There were people EVERYWHERE!! Especially at the riverfront for the dying of the river! After the event we skipped the parade and headed up to N. Clark to Galway Arms and had some delish Irish fare and a couple of Irish drinks. N. Clark was crazy too! Afterwards we headed to the park and hung out for a while and then onto the lakefront for some sun. Our neighborhood was crazy all day and well into the night (early morning hours)! But the Chicago crowd did not seem to be obnoxious and seemed to be all about drinking enjoying themselves (and drinking)!!
Sunday was a wonderful day of relaxation! The Husband and I grabbed a blanket and a couple of sandwiches and headed to Lincoln Park. We had a picnic and just relaxed for the afternoon. This really made us feel like Chicagoans!!
Tonight we had a blast watching the Arctic Monkeys and The Black Keys! This was a kick off to The Husband’s birthday celebration! It felt weird to finally be using the tickets that I had bought so long ago (with hopes that we would actually move to Chicago so we could use them),
This is a wonderful start to all the fun times that are sure to be had in the city!
