When Kaylah and I talked about posting our random Chicago photos I wasn't sure how many I had. We took lots of video on my camera so I thought that I didn't take many photos. Well, I was wrong...I took a lot. Here are some of them.
Renegade was so overwhelming that I hardly took any photos. Anytime we got brave enough to bring out the camera it was mainly for video purposes, the product of which you will see tomorrow!

PS. Kaylah is sharing some of her Chicago photos today as well so make sure you pop over to The Dainty Squid!
Our first evening was spent at the Navy Pier and it was a perfect place to hang out. There is a bunch to do including a fun house and this awesome game where you run around a room hitting buttons that light up. It doesn't sound like an awesome game but it was so much fun! We also got to see a few weddings going on and emjoy the pretty skyline.
Those last few shots are just some random ones from our second day in Chicago. Oh and those feet/legs! We saw these while we were driving around looking for parking and then couldn't find them at first while we were walking. As we were on our way back to the car after a long day of walking I spotted them in the distance. Even though our feet were pretty sore we had to go visit the huge feet!
There was so much to see in Chicago that I would definitely go back. Next time I would love to take a bus tour to see more of the cool looking buildings and special areas. There were a lot of things we missed!

ReplyDeletecurious. the photos you use within your blog posts what size are they? __x__ i recently ran out of picasa photo storage & i had to buy more space ... so i want my photos to look good in my post but i want to not go too extreme. have you done a post or vlog about that? i can't remember? would love to hear you thoughts. thanks & hugs. (:
Hi Elizabeth,
DeleteI sent you an email to respond to your question because it was kind of a long answer! I hope it helped :)
OH MY GOSH. This place looks amaziiiing.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you guys had to so much in Chicago! It's one of the few cities that the touristy stuff is actually super fun. It totally made my weekend that I got to meet you and Kaylah and talk about dorky things and kitties! I actually really wanted to ask you how you did your nails, that cool triangle design with the white outline? They looked amazing and so perfect!
ReplyDeleteHi Julia! It was really awesome to meet you and I had a great time chatting :)
DeleteFor my nails I painted the base colour then used nail stickers to paint one triangle at the top. Once that was dry I used another nail sticker to cover just a little bit of the previous triangle and then painted the other, smaller triangle. Make sense?
Definitely do an architectural boat tour next time on the river, it's amazing seeing the city from that perspective!
ReplyDeleteAh, beautiful photos...makes me miss Chicago even more! xxx
ReplyDeleteI 2nd the architectural boat tour!! I adore Chicago and it's such a special way to see so many beautiful buildings!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fun time! I love the fair photos. I wish our fair wasn't so gross, I would love to go to one.
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!! The sky is just so dazzling in these photos!!
ReplyDeleteOh lordy have you ever got some beautiful shots there. The clouds in the photograph of the boat out at sea are totally breathtaking!

I can't believe there was JUST a Renegade over here in London. Screaming with frustration at not knowing.

Ooo I love those big feet and horse sculptures! Your nighttime carnival photos are very beautiful. And, that hat you're weaaring is lovely! Where did you get it?
ReplyDeleteJohnny loves Chicago. I've never been. Maybe someday...
Loved getting to see all the photos! I've been editing my Chicago photos and just finished the ones from the Pier to go up this week! I think the ferris wheel was my favorite and the gorgeous view of the skyline as you look back! Goodness your photos are seriously feeding my nostalgia! thanks for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteNot even my Saturday-morning-at-work sleepiness could stand the awesomeness of that hat!! I love it. Also, those horse head sculptures are blowing my mind and I'm not sure if they're nightmare fuel or what. Chicago looks awesome, hope to go one day...
ReplyDeleteChicago is absolutely my favorite city in America (I'm kind of partial to London on a global scale - not that I've even been there before). It's just got such a unique feel to it thanks the mix of modern + antique buildings.
ReplyDeleteIf you're ever in the area again let me know! I live within an hour of Chicago and I would love to meet up! ;D
I like M.Abakanowicz
