Marine Drive Getaway.
Dear 28,
These digs are unbuster. So are Jen and Nick.
Megabus-ed to Chicago for an extended stay. Kicked the celebration of a vacation off with what Jen calls the "best pizza ever" and although a near fistfight broke out over delivery time,
Pizza Rustica was quite tasty.

Hitting the lanes at the
Diversey River Bowl with some Muskies. Then there was the
Dose Market and meeting the
Buckshot Sonny boys. A visit to giant
Marilyn. (Seriously dudes. Why stand under her skirt? It's not that funny. Stop it. This article agrees.)
Then we went all-in holiday:
Christkindlmarket. Mulled wine. Lots of glass ornaments. And German accents. And the commemorative boot mug.
Then there was brunch at
Orange, shopping on
Michigan Avenue, accidentally
free whiskey and KATIE TIME (jenga. jenga. jenga.)
Then the tour de fancy places.
Hancock.
Trump.
Hub 51. Great views of the chilly city. A ginger drink with flowers. An amazing (and recreate-able) brussels sprout salad.
Then there was the National+Local Natives show (more on that later). And breakfast with Jake. Whew. What a perfect trip to the Windy City. Thanks Jen and Nick-- you're terrific hosts.
