The Roommates go to Milwaukee

 I was blessed to have awesome roommates in college.  These girls are the very best kind of friends.

The three of us living in Utah decided to take a trip to visit Katie in Milwaukee before she moves this summer.  The first day we were there we got a great tour of the city and ended the day with some famous Wisconsin frozen custard.  That stuff is delicious.


The next day we headed off to Chicago!  After getting a bit lost while trying to find our Marriott, we spent some time exploring Michigan Avenue.  We had Chicago style pizza at Giordanos and delicious carmel/chocolate popcorn from Garrett's Popcorn.  We spent the evening at the top of the Hancock Tower enjoying the view, sunset, and great conversation of course. 



The next day we explored some more of the city.  We went on a boat architecture tour that was really interesting.  I loved seeing all the cool buildings in Chicago and hearing stories about them.

We walked down near Navy Pier and then along the water to get to Millenium Park.


 Millenium Park has this cool giant mirror Jelly Bean sculpture thing that people love to take pictures with.  So we had to join them.

These signs were all over the place in Chicago.  We felt so loved.


We spent part of our last day going to Katie's branch, visiting the Joan of Arc Chapel at Marquette, eating more custard, and walking along Lake Michigan.  It is so beautiful there.

We had the best time together.  There was never a dull moment and we easily kept the conversation flowing for our four days together.  We reminisced about our time in Jerusalem and the Regency and laughed a lot.  I don't get to see these girls as much as I wish, but I sure am grateful for the times that we do get together.  They are the best.
