Treasure Hunt

I mentioned in a previous blog that there are close to 200 Fountains, Monuments & Sculptures in Chicago...

Tonight I just needed to get out, enjoy the weather and take a walk - SO... I turned Grant Park into my own little treasure hunt :) There are 30 items listed in Grant Park...

I'm amazed at the items we see every day, and yet never see. I have quite enjoyed learning a little Chicago History and look forward to continuing the treasure hunt across the city.

Spring in the Lurie Garden, Millennium Park, Chicago

There are always those days that give you a HORRIBLE case of Spring Fever. A day when the weather is SO beautiful it makes it almost impossible to go back to work after lunch. I am grateful I'm located near multiple fun Chicago locations. Thought I'd share a few of the pics from one of these recent days...
