Jeremy and I took a little trip to Chicago last week to celebrate Valentine's and relax. It was SO good to take a short getaway. These past few months hace been the busiest, and it was amazing to take a few days together to enjoy another city! Here are some snapshots from our trip.
We tried Glazed & Infused Doughnuts. Their crème brûlée donut was one of the best that I ever had!
We tried a couple coffee shops on this trip, and Caffè Streets was our favorite. One of my instagram friends recommended that I try their Chider (chai + cider) so I did and it tasted just like Autumn. It's not Autumn, but it was really really cold so I was into it.
We found Buzz Killer Espresso by mistake. Loved it.
Molly's is one of our favorite cupcake shops in the whole world (and we really like cupcakes!) We always get the blueberry cheesecake one when we visit Chicago. :) It's kinda a tradition.
Not pictured: amazing black spagetti, a cinnamon and lime cocktail, tons of shopping (my guy likes shopping—YES!), sleeping in, long conversations and dinner with friends at Honey (best sweet potato fries of my life). It was a wonderful trip. Best of all, we came home feeling refreshed and inspired.
ps. Car was parked in that last photo. :D
Ah this is amazing and so lovely! I love the idea of taking a short vacation for valentines especially to Chicago!
