Wanderlust Chicago & CHGO DSGN

This past weekend, one of my dear friends came to visit me.  She introduced me to Wanderlust.  We did Yoga in the City at Grant Park.  It was a great event and the day was perfect, sun and all.  I've never done one of these and am really glad I did.  Thanks Linh!

We snagged some great freebies and got to try some new products.  I would definitely come out to another one of these events and would encourage anyone to.  Since it was quite warm that day, I got a little sunburned.  Next time, I will have to use the sunscreen spray.

Here are some pictures from our Wanderlust adventure. #WLChicago +Wanderlust

Butler Field. Wanderlust Chicago.  What a great backdrop to practice yoga!

After Wanderlust, we checked out the CHGO DSGN exhibition going on at the Chicago Cultural Center. This is really cool exhibition featuring pieces of recent objects and graphic design curated by Rick Valicenti.  I would highly recommend checking this exhibition out if you are in the area or planning a visit to the Chicago area.

Here are some of my favorite pieces.

Mid Week Warming

I been waiting for the weather to warm up to go Ice Skating.  This past Wednesday it was in the 40s with minimal windchill and sunny!  I knew it was the perfect day to enjoy ice skating at the McCormick Tribune Ice Rink! Frank and I had lots of fun!  I'm glad he was able to shuffle his schedule around so we can enjoy this warm day.

It had been a really long time since I've ice skated.  Perhaps high school??? Ice skating works out different muscles, so stretching first helps.  It's really pretty ice skating at Millennium Park.  You have great skyline view, the bean and so much more.

Here's a picture of Frank and myself with the bean behind us.

Here's us on the Ice Rink taken by a fellow who had some good moves.  

From the center on the rink, I took a panoramic of Michigan Ave.  

 And here's a panoramic of the other side. So pretty!

Frank and I also met Seth Wescott, two-time Olympian champion in the snowboard cross.  Liberty Mutual Insurance sponsored the Road to Sochi Tour which passed through Chicago on February 19-20, 2014.
