I got to spend the weekend before my birthday in Chicago with my Aunt who was visiting from Wisconsin. I woke up fairly early on Saturday morning and arrived in the city by noon. I met my Aunt at her hotel and we decided to spend the day doing touristy things. First on the list was a trip to Garret's Popcorn and Sprinkles cupcakes....aka my absolute favorite Chicagoland treats.

After Sprinkles we decided to go people watching at the John Hancock building. Instead of going to the observatory we went to the Sky Lounge which is a bar on the floor below the observatory. We chilled there for around an hour and enjoyed a fantastic view of the Chicago skyline and Lake Michigan.

Eventually it was time for dinner and I was really craving Italian so we went to Cafe Spiaggia which was delicious and not to filling. We ended the night early after watching the final Big Ten team in the NCAA basketball tournament fall to Kentucky.

Stay tuned for part 2...aka my actual birthday!
